Hard Disk Failure

I think we forget the basic principles of the functionality of the Hard drive and the two things that make it function. (1) PCB printed circuit board. When they fail you will get the blue screen Disk (0) failed to read (2) mechanical failure of read heads the clicking sound exceeds the normal operation. Both will give you a blue screen when the motherboard can not find the (OS) operating system on the hard drive.Because of these failures you'll find that cascade failure is imminent for other peripherals.The test for PCB failure is to remove the battery on the motherboard to reset the bios if it reboots and you still get the failure to read disk(0) and the hard drive makes normal operating sounds replace the PCB board and you will be back in business. If the mechanical side of the drive make excessive clicking sounds replace drive.In both cases do not forget to rest the clock when system is up and running or you will find other systems issues will pop up after the bios is reset.
