[QUOTE="deus_ex_machina, post: 919343, member: 5726"] ticking/clicking sound on a HDD is imminent failure, if not already. If you're unable to boot to the disc holding Option, and the install disc doesn't see the drive, time to shop for another hard drive. There are ways with Target Firewire Disk Mode/Diskwarrior/External Enclosure to retrieve whatever data is still on there. [/QUOTE]
