I have an old QUANTUM FIREBALLlct15 30 (29 GB, 4500 RPM, Ultra-ATA/66)
and lately it has been makeing some weird noize, usually when I maximize/minimize windows, or open the start menu...
for lack of better description, CLICK CLICK BWEEEeeeee
I ran a disk check and phaze 4 took forever... (what happens durring phaze 4?)
when ever it makes the noize, it slows down for a few seconds... but I can still access the files on in...
is there any way I could fix this?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
also, I have gone through four 80pin ribbon cables(ATA) and every time I start my computer, it says no 80pin conductor cable connected, and often will freeze at this point...
so to solve this problem, I replaced it with a 40pin cable, but now every time I start the computer "it says no 80pin conductor cable connected" but now it doesn't freeze, but it takes (irony) about twice the time to copy information...
so the problem here is that, I would rather use an 80pin, but for some reason it won't work...
is getting enough power? 450w
my comp has 2 hd's, 1 dvd, 1 cd, 6600gt, mx4000, and tv tunner, (amd xp 2400+OC 512Mb ram) is this to much for 450w?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so...
-what happens durring phaze 4 of a check disk?
-is there any way I could fix that noize?
-whats up with the 80/40pin cable?
-do I have enough power(450w)?
thanx for takeing the time to read all of this, hope someone can help solve at least one of these problems...
