[QUOTE="Sveen, post: 368399, member: 27457"] Yup I just found out the hard way that a "click" = drive going bad. I was working on my PC last week and heard it do a loud series of metalic clicks then whirs then stopped and everything was fine. Next day it wouldn't boot as the primary drive was dead. Took the drive out and powered it through an external IDE to USB adapter and it worked yet it was making weird noises like bad bearings or something while I transfered the data off it. The drive was only 2 years old yet out of warranty :( [/QUOTE]
