John has just installed a new game on his computer. He has two hard drives and wants to store the data files for the game on the second hard drive. When he tries to save the data, he hears a loud clicking noise, and now the hard drive does not appear in File Explorer. What might be the problem with John's computer

Answer:

hard drive

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided regarding the scenario at hand, it seems that the problem with John's computer is the hard drive. Most likely the hard drive has failed. When a hard drive disk platter begins to fail it will no longer save data correctly and will begin making a loud clicking noise which is the needle missing/scratching the disks. Which is exactly what is happening to John as he is trying to save the game.
