What are these small and big "click" sounds in my hd??

for about 9 months

you've had it for 9 months now right?
and it's only recently been making noises?

does it do this when you access something, or in fact when you do ANYTHING. Is it random, like when the miggy is just sitting on the workbench with no processes rnning?

did you leave a magnet on it?  :-D

bought two ibm hard drives once. 120 gigs each, @ the same time they started going:

WIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

then they both died within a day of each other

People, am i right in saying that slapping two cream crakers on either side of a CD is more reliable than a Maxtor Hard Drive?
