One of my Maxtor 160GB drives just crapped out on me. When I boot up the
PC, all I can hear is a repetitive clicking noise coming from the drive.
What is this clicking? Does it mean serious damage with no hope of repair,
or something that be easily fixed? The drive is still covered under
warranty.
What causes hard drives to fail? I had a thermistor attached to this drive
and it never got above 100F. Maybe a weird surge in the power supply?
