From what I've read, the "clicking" is a sign that the
hard drive is about to fail. The cause is using two
devices (hard drives, CD-ROM drives, etc.) with different
read/write speeds on the same IDE cable. For instance,
you MUST not have an ATA100, ATA66, or ATA33 hard drive
or CD-ROM drive on the same IDE cable as a faster ATA133
hard drive.
 
Hey Edwin,

Is the clicking actually comming from the hard drive itself, or is it
comming from speakers or headphones?
