Whew sorry Tsar but I'm not too clued up about these things. I know PSUs can have coil whine but if it didn't used to do it then I wonder if it's maybe a capacitor. But like I said I really don't know and hopefully someone knowledgeable will have a reply.

The thing that should not be
Thanks soli.
Exactly like that. It goes away after a 30 minutes +- Is it dying or nothing to worry about? I don't want it to take my pc out as My dad and I are moving to the uk and I don't want to waste more money.

Try replacing the IEC 60320 C13 cable

Should I be concerned though. I see a lot of people saying its fine and shouldn't worry about it.

Only when it becomes a constant sound. But psu's can go in a bang or in a wimper.

Hi guys,
I've got a problem with an external WD 2TB 2.5" drive.
Symptoms:
When plugged in it slows my pc down alot, it gets assigned drive letter G: but it is not accessible.
It also makes a faint ticking/ scratching sound which from what I understand isn't a definite sign of failure. (although its bad).
Now, the weird part. When trying to access it through Disk management, it doesn't allow disk manager to open, I cant get access to DISKPART, it opens, but then I can't type any commands.
Any third party apps like testdisk or diskwizard just freeze or don't open at all.
When I unplug, everything works fine.
I wouldn't say I'm an expert but I've done troubleshooting on quite a few HDD's
I've tried booting into safe mode but same symptoms.
Any idea's on how to get the data off this badboy before it's properly dead? Any ideas on how to fully restore? - long shot
Would appreciate feedback
Cheers

dd if=/dev/<id of badish drive> of=/path/to/drive_image_file.img bs=64K conv=noerror,sync
then when you get a new drive :
dd if=/path/to/drive_image_file.img of=/dev/<id of new drive> bs=64K
then when you get a new drive :
dd if=/path/to/drive_image_file.img of=/dev/<id of new drive> bs=64K

Correct, you'll need a drive of similar or greater size for that to work. Sadly not much you can do to fix. That is also why you add "noerror" as this will tell the DD command to continue after read errors. You can also add "fdatasync" to physically write output file data before finishing. However "sync" already uses synchronized I/O for data and metadata.
"bs=64k" just sets the read and write up to 64K at a time, which makes it go a tad quicker else it defaults to 512bytes. If you know your exact blocksize you can set it to that the default, unless you set it to any other value, would be 4096 or 4K
Honestly, this is the safest way and the cheapest way to get as much data off that drive as possible.

Is there a direct copy command to copy E:/ directly to F:/ ?
