Seagate HD crashing? What to do? XP Pro.

Help. My Seagate HD made an aweful racket this afternoon when I powered it on. It was also very stuborn in completing the quick launch bar and completely loading the OS. I shut down and put my PC on its side and opened the case and re-started. Much better. OS loaded and very little objectionable noise from the system. I have two HD's. A 200 GB Seagate and an 80 GB WD. Both with loads of warranty left.
I'm almost certain that its the Seagate. Its possible that its my WD HD, but I'm pretty sure its not. I may be able to re-partition the primary partition of my WD HD to NTFS and use a program like ghost to copy my system over for now. Good idea or should I use another program? I've backup up pretty much all my data on to the WD HD and my PC isn't making aweful noises anymore, but I think the aweful racket and I don't want to take any risks. Is there any software on the Motherboard disk such as Ghost? I'll check it out. What program should I use?

My PC is working fine now. I'm going to arrange all my data so that its easy to backup on a regular basis. I'm going to download the diagnostics for each HD and run them. Weird. Things are ok now, but I'm sure at any moment...kaboom...CKCKKCKKKKKKKKKSHHHKK KK. So I should take precautions now.

  • Premiere Pro CC crashing on brand new Mac Pro (late 2013)

    Such a big disappointment, yesterday our brand new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with OS X version 10.10.2 was installed and Premiere Pro CC is constantly crashing. One of the problems is that when I open a brand new project and before I add any content to a new sequence I just want to position the video track higher so I can see more audio tracks, the program crashed. I did it several times (new projects, new sequences) every time the same crashing program.
    Deinstalled Premiere Pro and reinstalled it again, but no luck.
    Tomorrow I created a whole new account with administrator rights on the Mac, the issue as described above was gone but at some point in time the program crashed again, and when I reopen the project, with two sequences open (one with footage and one empty) and I want to close the empty one, Premiere is crashing again. So I can't continue my work on this project and need to start over again....
    This is the error report that I'm getting....
    I hope somebody can help me on this because it's very frustrating...
    Thanks in advance

  • Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

    Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
    Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

    Try turning off GPU acceleration.

  • Encore keeps crashing on startup on macbook pro. I have all the latest cc and osx updates

    encore keeps crashing on startup on macbook pro. I have all the latest cc and osx updates

    What specific OS and Encore versions? Since you say "latest OS updates," I assume Mavericks, and is this the relatively new 10.9.1 version?
    Where in the startup does it crash? Is there an error message?
    Mavericks causes a variety of issues, and we don't have enough data to really pin them down. At least with the original Mavericks, some users appeared to get CS6 to run with some serious but workable problems.
    Make sure you have handled any permissions issues.

  • What Systems are the Pros Using for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade?

    I bought the full Creative Cloud in hopes of making a career for myself in audio/visual editing. The problem is, my system doesn't seem to be able to handle the software, particularly when changing back and forth between the three programs mentioned above. Beyond that, my first project failed to export properly. Moreover, all throughout its development the system lagged badly. And this is after having followed all the preferences recommendations available in the Adobe's tutorials and elsewhere on the Web.
    Here's my system:
    SYX-P67A-C43: Intel Core i7 2600 (an 8-core unit) at 3.4GHz, with 8 Gigs of RAM (soon to be 16) with a GTX 550 NVidia Card, 1Gig of RAM.
    As you can see, this is far in excess of what Adobe claims to be the minimum system requirements. It's obviously NOT.
    What systems are the Pros using (like the guys in the tutorials) for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade? Give me the exact machines with all the specs so I can price one up.

    ...although a little " old" now.....the fundamentals of your machine are still OK to get started IF you : 1. INCREASE your system memory to the full 32 GB....should make a BIG difference in performance.....8 GB is NOT enough, it will HINDER performance. 2. OVERCLOCK your CPU !!!.....many owners of your CPU have been safely running at 4.5 Ghz or HIGHER...some at 4.8 Ghz !!! This OC will make a DRAMATIC improvement  as  CPU speed is a huge factor in performance. 3. Improve your video card to a new NVidia 970 with 4 GB of video memory. 4. Check and MAKE SURE the power supply in your machine is ADEQUATE to handle everything, esp. if you overclock the CPU....generally 850 to 1,000 watts of a quality make is good. 5. Use a fast storage system...that means a SATA III SSD as your "C" drive, ( boot drive), being a Crucial M550 series,( or, M600 series), OR, a Samsung 850 Pro series SSD, ( more expensive). Other SSDs are NOT recommended, only these two makes are recommended for technical reasons. On this "C" drive, you should have Operating system, Programs, and Windows page file ONLY !! Your "D" drive can be ANOTHER single SSD to be used as a "cache drive" for all the previews, media cache, and cache files that Premier Pro creates PLUS, it can ALSO serve as the "Global Performance cache" used in After Effects. All your media and project files can go on your "E" drive. HERE you would have LIMITED OPTIONS because your motherboard only has TWO SATA III ports, ( which would already be used b the "C" and "D" SSDs). You NOW have only 4 SATA II ports left ......you COULD RAID 0 four 1 TB HDDs off these ports and have a 4TB backup drive connected to one of your TWO USB 3 external ports.....any DVD or Blue-ray can ALSO go on an external port.
    However, if you are into spending REAL MONEY !!!.....Go Haswell E and X99 all the way !!...THAT will give you great performance !!

  • HT2397 How can I check what region my Macbook pro has been set at.

    How can I check what region my Macbook pro has been set at?

    It will have been set for the region in which it was purchased.

    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see tis also:

    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

    Hi there when I start move mobile me to aperture my mac goes to crash: what do I have to do?

    Try to download your MobileMe content from your me.com web page:
    Ope your System Preferences, then select the "Mobile Me" pane / Accounts panel.
    There press the "Visit Me.com" button and download your Mobile Me contents. Then sign out of Mobile Me.
    When you relaunch Aperture and the "Mobile Me" has been discontinued panel pops up don't use the "ok" button, but click the "Learn more" button. Ignore the web page, and open the Aperture preferences.
    In the "Web > Accounts" tab of the preferences remove the "Mobile Me" account.

    bitlocker encrypts your drive making it difficult to run programs that require constant access to your drive--it should be 'off'--however--just turning it off won't solve the problem. You need to turn it off and decrypt the drive
    see below
    To turn off or temporarily suspend BitLocker
    Click to open BitLocker Drive Encryption. 
    Do one of the following:
    To temporarily suspend BitLocker, click Suspend Protection, and then click Yes.
    To turn off BitLocker and decrypt the drive, click Turn Off BitLocker, and then click Decrypt Drive.

  • What versions of Macbook Pro do not support all trackpad gestures?

    What versions of Macbook Pro don't support gestures for left and right scrolling on the desktop in MIssion Control.
    I have several MBPs and to be honest, I can't remember what hardware supports these Lion features.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jim P.

    Additional info: there are a small subset of 4,1 MBPs that have the multitouch trackpad.  I have one, purchased in late March 2008, just after Apple announced the feature was added to the MBP.  I can scroll left/right in MC.
