Car: Golf LFS Status:  Rep Power: 40     | Hitachi used to be IBM, right? I once had BIG problems with one of their production lines... And so did friends of mine... 40 - 60 GB disks kept on crashing all the time... A low level format was the key... And good cooling... Got a heat sensitive fan for my HDs... Never had a problem since... But clicking noises sound like something you can't fix with a low level format Good luck in getting it back soon... RMA used to take ages back in the IBM times. Buba

(cause: pc wasn't level, or you tilted it while operating) i've looked around how to solve it, and it can't be. there is special software which can address each cluster independently if there is still data on you need (is expensive), but the hd can't be fixed

As soon as i only connect the harddisks to the power-supply (which is powered on) the disk starts clicking. Anyhow, i have lost no important data aside from a couple of DVD's of live performances from some artists, my 80GB of mp3's, and 40GB of my DTS cd's...
