If it only happens once every 30 seconds, I wouldn't worry TOO much
about it. Most likely just doing a head seek to keep reference. There
may also be some bad sectors that it's trying to recover, but this
would appear at a regular interval of more than a second or so.
when i run scan disk on this other pc here (intel 900mhz, WinME, 20GigHdd,
256 Mb sdram, etc) it emits a loud "click", or a knocking sound about every
thirty seconds or so...what the hell is that?! Help anyone?! Thanks!!

Ive already suggested defrag but your post tells the OPer to ignore all
other posts and now youre suggesting the same. Most points made by other
people are valid, its not good etiquette to say "ignore the rest of the
posters"
A partial answer is not always a good answer. Hard drives often have
critical data on them and its a good idea to go to the manufactures website
and check and see what they say first.
