What is head crash?
A head crash is a type of hard disk failure that occurs when a read/write head touches the fast spinning disk platters. It is very catastrophic - it can destroy lots of data - even the data needed to start an operating system can be destroyed.
What does the HDD LED control?
It doesn't really control anything, rather it flashes on whenever there is hard disk activity (i.e. reading from or writing to the disk)
Is there an external hard disk with LAN support or network access storage with data reading via USB?
Yes. Any external hard disk should work. You will then need to configure it from the control panel.
What is disk corruption?
Disk corruption is the general term used when data stored on the computer is lost due to a mechanical hardware failure. Disk corruption in hard disks is usually due to the disk head crashing into the disk, on which the data is encoded, cause permanent and irreversible loss of data. Also means a part of a file may be partially affected. This makes the particular file 'corrupt' and cannot be used as data will be completely or partially lost.
What does it mean when your computer says hard drive not found?
The best way, I think to answer that is to define what a computer (or in this case the motherboard of the computer) needs to find or identify a hard disk. A hard disk needs a power source, a connector to attach it to the motherboard, and a controller to talk to the microprocessor of the computer. If any of these things fail the hard disk will not function and the computer will not recognize it. In general when you see the message "hard disk not found" its because the computer can't recognize the hard disk. This can be from a bad cable (that connects the hard disk to the motherboard), no power to the hard disk, or a failed controller. In my experience, its usually a bad cable but there are times when the hard disk itself will fail. Generally, hard disk cables are far more fragile than hard disks.
What is the process of copying software programs from secondary storage media to the hard disk called?

Why the blue power button is keep flashing all the time you have an iqon computer?
This ring is probably the Hard Disk light surrounding the power button. This will illuminate and flash whenever the hard disk is "thinking" or reading data.
Is a hard disk a hardware or a software?
A computer hard disk or hard drive (fixed disk) is hardware.
Why is hard disk sealed?
The hard disk enclosure is sealed with a filter so that the disk can operate without impurities getting in the way. A single particle of smoke is several times larger than the distance between a disk and the read/write head. Anything that is even that small and certainly anything larger like a dust particle, would cause problems and probably disk failure.
