When I do fdisk, it reconginize my drive. But when I try to partition
or do anything it won't do anything. And it does make strange sounds
when I turn on my computer.
when I use Partition Magic 8 (the rescue disks in dos) it said bad
partition, and I can't do anything.
I want to open up and look inside, but I can't unscrew some werids
screws... lol
thanks. |

Thats usually pretty good evidence that its dying.

Run the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic on the drive.

That is intentional. Opening a drive without a clean room and the
necessary tools, knowledge and experience is certain death to that
drive. Not necessarily immediate death, but it will not live long.

If it was intentional, they wouldn't have used standard Torx screws.
They would have used a more specialized screw like Torq-Set
(offset Philips),Triwing (Philips like) or Robertson (square).
Or used tamper resistant Torx (with pin inside) at a minimum.
Standard Torx can even be removed with a standard blade screw
driver (the ones used for watches) if it is sufficiently hardened.

OTOH its obviously why a standard philips head wasnt used.

What is?
(*IF* there's even a standard for the philips screw head  )
Often a cheap philips screw driver fits better than the professional type
but then maybe that's b.c. of most of the screws themselfs aren't 'standard'?

Even you should be able to manage a more viable troll than that pathetic effort.
