what do you mean?
i don't know lot about Hard drive, sorry

Re: sound from hard drive
 

As in who manufactured the drive, what company.

If you don't know how to look, you can usually find the make from the following steps:

Go to Start --> Control Panel --> System --> Hardware tab (I think it's hardware, I can't check on these PCs) --> Then device manager.

Under the device manager, look under "Disk drives". Your HDD should be under there, and more than likely the manufacturer name. If not, post back and I'll have to look later on (Leaving college now).

Is it a branded PC an if so who is the manufacturer and do you know the model number?

Rule One of Computing: Make a back up!

Rule Two of Computing: See Rule One!!

It may be something minor, but if you've got any important/ non-replaceable data on there, back it up just in case it's a critical problem :eek:

As Graham wisely says" Back up" "Back up" "Back up"!!!!!!!:tu:
