ok so im pretty sure I know the answer to this but im hoping against hope that someone will say im wrong!
My imac is a 2006 model
I turned on my i mac and the hard drive made a funny clicking noise and the screen went grey and it would not boot up. i switched it off and on again and it seemed fine.
the next day it did the same thing so i ran off snow leopard disk and went into disk utilities which found a problem with the hard drive and fixed it, i decided to run a permisions sweep (i think thats the right term?) and it froze. so i decided to re install snowleopard and everything seemed to work fine.
until..... i went to back up my hard drive and the computer would not load agin all i got was the grey screen, and the clicking noise of death! so i went through disc utillites again and now its not showing the hard drive at all!!!!
please please someone tell me I have not lost everything!!!
