    are the clicks audible? The most you should hear a hard drive is a small buzz. Clicks usually indicate the spindle or control arm are busted. Try clearing the BIOS or try the drive in another machine just to make sure, but if you're hearing clicks... its a good thing hard drives are so cheap now ;-)
