Bad Hardrives?
I have two different Laptops in which I expect the HDDs are the culprits, one gives me a beep code on start up with no display, while the other boots into Windows Error Recovery gets about 40% after the Launch Start-up Repair and gives me a 0x00000e9 status, An unexpected I/O error has occurred.
I have looked online for the beep code, but I cant seem to find the right one so I have attached a recording of the sound as .WAV file.
I have 3 different laptops and switching the HDDs are repeating the same problems, however I haven't got a unbroken laptop HDD to test the laptops.
Just want to know the difference in errors, and to see if there is any way to fix it just for fun.
Info;
Toshiba 640gb - 0x00000e9 - Been dropped
Samsung 250gb - Beep - May have been dropped
