Hp is what i have, misplaced the recovery disc it is requesting on a black screen. As well adding to the problem a clanking sound in the computer when i start it up. Experts have said based on hearing what iam printing sounds like the hard drive ( a real pain in the ASS!) Any advice? A new one starts at $599 without the needed software Another $200.00. Will have it checked fro 15 minutes for free. [Link]

Her computer started to make the same noise you have reported. She told me she took her computer to a shop for repairs. They told her that her hard drive was broken. She had to pay them to replace the hard drive on her computer. [Link]

The recovery disc is around $25 I think. Hard drives are $60ish depending on storage capacity, maker, retailer, etc. Of course this is a best guess based on the info provided. [Link]

Click to expand Yeah, its probably the harddrive. Hp wants $30 fro the recovery and said i would need help installing it for $44.99, then the harddrive, if gone needs reinstalling of software, plus the printer may not work with it, do not have the disc that came with printer. Thank u as well for your help. It is appreciated. Iam working off a laptop, just so darn use to a desk top. Again, Thank u [Link]
