On sunday morning I turned my computer on and everything was working fine, I went out and played golf about 7 hours later I went to use the computer again, but it was a different story. I turned the computer on and it got to the "Welcome to windows xp" page on the start up and froze, I then noticed a strange almost hissing noise comming from the base unit. I wasn't sure what was happening so I manually shut the computer down and tired again, but the exact same thing happended. After several goes it kept freezing on the same page. So I examined it further by taking of the side of the computer and discovered that this noise was comming from the hard drive, which is what I had gathered.
I am currently using the family comupter and my 2 year old dell is sitting in my room doing nothing, is there anyway this can be fixed, or am I going to have to buy a new hard drive. Will all my stuff be lost of the other computer or can it be retrieved.
Thanks in advance for any help.
