iSaad Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Paint.net puts a long and lot of pressure on the hard disk when installing. Why? I'm afraid it will burn my hard disk or at least shorten its life. Its better to use portable version. Please fix this problem. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 This is not a problem. Your hard drive is not being worn out by installing Paint.NET. 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid it will burn my hard disk or at least shorten its life. Sorry but that's just nonsense. What gives you that idea? If your computer is slow when installing paint.net, you'd be better off replacing your hard disk drive (HDD) with a solid-state drive (SSD). You'll get much faster performance when installing, starting, and using paint.net... and when booting Windows... and when installing, starting, and using every other app you have. You may also have limited RAM. Please start paint.net and click Settings -> Diagnostics then Copy to clipboard. If you paste the copied text here, people can advise you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk4mat Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 A drive using a good amount of storage space and is fragmented will cause the drive to chug and struggle with reading and writing. Run disk cleanup and defrag the drive. To really reclaim storage space try deleteing old system restore points. A little maintenance goes a long way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Rick Brewster Posted May 17 Solution Share Posted May 17 There’s nothing to fix. There’s no danger. It’s 2024 and you should be using an SSD by now. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Hard disk is not old and always My hard disk is not old and is always cleaned and defragmented. But the processor and RAM of my system is old and very weak. My system RAM is 4 GB During installation, it takes a long time and puts pressure on the my hard disk and My hard disk makes a clicking sound. This is not nonsense😠 My harddisk is Seagate 10TB Surveillance (Seagate ST10000VX0004-1ZE101) It is 10 terabytes, but because my motherboard is old, only 2 terabytes of it is recognized.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 12 minutes ago, iSaad said: it takes a long time and puts pressure on the my hard disk and My hard disk makes a clicking sound. Yikes! Your HDD should NEVER make clicking noises. It's time to accept your HDD is plain worn out. Expect it to fail quite soon. This is not nonsense😠 1 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagna Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Large drives may make a lot of noise, learned this when we upgraded from 4TB drives to 8TB in our small office NAS. It can make all the noise it wants in the networking rack. And that's a NVR Surveillance drive designed for sequential operation. The random operations of normal usage isn't meant for that HDD. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSaad Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 My hard disk is still healthy. When it is pressed, it makes a choking sound or a small click. It is not a new issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactilis Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 As @Zagna says, some HDDs do make a noise as the actuator moves the read/write heads. This is distinct from the Click of Death. @iSaad The main problems are: 1. You have a HDD rather than a SDD. The read/write speed of a HDD is tens to hundreds of times slower than an SSD. 2. You have a CPU design that was released in 2007. Performance will be poor compared to more modern processors. 3. You have only 4GB of RAM. Windows and your apps will use considerably more than that, so there will be continual swapping out/in to the page file, which is on your HDD, which is slow. As a minimum, you could change your HDD for a SSD and add more RAM. But you would be better off with a new PC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Expecting support, optimization, and “fixes” for an ancient system like that is not reasonable, especially with an HDD. The onus is on you to maintain a reasonable up-to-date PC. Just because "it works fine for me" doesn't mean you can expect others to spend time and effort on your behalf. For PDN 5.1 that means Intel Core 4th generation (“Haswell”) or AMD Ryzen 1st generation, a GPU that supports Direct3D 11, and an SSD. Anything older and you are on your own, it is not supported, it is “AS IS” and “at your own risk.” Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveNoName Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The OP is using a far from ideal primary HDD not really designed for that purpose but it should not be making much noise let alone click. It might have been helpful if somebody here had suggested the OP use some SMART tool to check the HDD for errors. Tool of choice for me would be CrystalDiscInfo (easily found) not to be confused with CrystalDiscMark the, also useful, HDD/SSD benchmark tool from the same people. If there are any serious errors flagged he can thank those people here who suggested the HDD may be faulty and needs replacing. At which time he can swap over to a SSD and then everyone will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just did Others may not have suggested this because they didn't know about it, or didn't think of it. This highlights another reason why HDD use can't be supported anymore: the knowledge about how to maintain and troubleshoot them is fading away. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my family members who should know this stuff (we are all 50+) dont think about it. I think the OP may not have described the noise correctly. Its a typical light tapping noise. Like when an adding machine is tucked under the pillow of your accountant and he is having a nightmare. On an older pc of mine, the hdd is a lower rpm and often struggles with heavy reads/writes regardless of fragmentation. Laptop BTW. @Rick Brewster I was just thinking for future TS could you add HDD/SSD information to the log? Just a few basic specs that could be useful several other type of sitations. Storage Type: (hdd/ssd etc) Free Space %: Here is where we can find out if the pc is loaded with junk causing read, write, slow load times etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Yeah, putting HDD vs SSD in the diagnostics is a good idea. I had an issue filed for this but I closed it for some reason, so I've reopened it. In any event, this is not a general PC technical support forum -- OP will need to look elsewhere to figure out if there's something actually wrong with their HDD. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
