Warning  Signs of Sony Laptop hard Disk Drive failure

Sony laptop hard disk drive makes occasional or repetitive clicking sound
Sony laptop is running slower than usual
No bootable device – insert boot disk or press any key
Sony laptop starts but won’t boot (won’t load windows (operating system)
Sony laptop some time freezes or restarts automatically
Sony laptop powers up but no display
Sony laptop hard drive is making clicking, loud spinning noise
Automatic execution of Chkdsk command on start up

Mechanical Failure (Sony laptop hard drive making clicking or ticking noises)

Often a hard drive starts to make a repetitive clicking noise in regular intervals . The clicking noise indicates that the write head of a hard drive is trying to write data onto the hard drive but its unable to do so . This is a very common sign of failing hard drive.

The clicking sound itself arises from the unexpected movement of the hard drive's read-write actuator. At startup, and during use, the disk head must move correctly and be able to confirm it is correctly tracking data on the disk. If the head fails to move as expected or upon moving cannot track the disk surface correctly, the disk controller may attempt to recover from the error by returning the head to its home position and then retrying, at times causing an audible "click".

In some devices, the process automatically retries causing a repeated clicking sound. Assuming there is no corresponding damage to the hard drive platters, we can recover the data by opening the hard drive in our clean room and replacing the heads.

Mechanical Failure (Sony laptop hard drive spins then shuts down)

Just about anything could be wrong with a hard drive that is shutting down after a few seconds. Most hard drives will shutdown when they detect a severe error to try to prevent further damage. The controller board could be bad, and swapping it with an identical one may solve the problem. For some drives, it doesn't need to be just the same model - it needs to be the same revision and firmware level as well.

The spindle motor could be seized or partially seized causing it to draw more power than it should and shutting down. Similarly the heads could be stuck or damaged. Regardless, the only way to recover the data is to open the chassis in the clean room and inspect the damage

Automatic execution of Chkdsk command on start up 

This is another most common sign of failing hard drives . Every time you boot up your windows computer , the Chkdsk command will be run automatically while your Sony laptop boots up in windows . While this might be due to an improper shut down , but if this happens frequently then surely it indicates a failing hard drive on your computer 

Logical Failure (Sony laptop hard drive recognised by BIOS, but cannot be accessed)

In most cases, logical failure is when Sony laptop BIOS can see your hard drive, but for some reason can’t access the data on it. It may not be able to mount the partition or may simply report that no drive is present at all. In the most extreme cases logical failure can include a hard drive that spins up fine, but is not even recognized by the Sony laptop BIOS as being present.

In a logical failure the hard drives electronic components and mechanical components are all working properly. Logical failures occur as a result of defective media (platter degradation) or data corruption from another source (destroyed file table, etc.
