Hi, so when I attempted to restart my computer it came up with windows updating dont shut down computer but was on that for over an hour and forced restarted bu holding down the power button. Now when I try to turn on the msi laptop my hard drive makes a clicking noise and restarts computer to do the same thing over again as seen in this video I made: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dmnb7wseusqcwf… Does anyone know how to fix this or recover my data? Also do you think it’s safe to keep using hard drive if it is possible to fix? Thank you in advance!
You are between a rock and a hard place here ;-{ Your drive has a mechanical problem (unable to index which is the clicking sound). It needs very specialized skills & tools to fix it enough to salvage the data off of it. If you don’t have a backup of the data then you’ll need to send the drive out to a data recovery service like Drive Savers. I’ll warn you it won’t be cheap! I would stop trying to fix your drive at this point as all you’re doing is making it worse!
Something probably broke in it i would recommend you upgrading to a SSD.
