Well my 80gig ibm started clickin' a couple nights ago.. and of course you know that clicks = death basically. When I first turned it on, it clicked to
hell during windows bootup gui.. I turned it off, bootagain and this time it clciked during post, turned it off once more and booted to back up only to observe that now it clicks right off the bat once you power it up. So basically the more I turned it on and off the more it gets owned. So now i am using my uber 8gig 5200 cheetah as windows hd.. and i swear it must have taken 30 min just to install sp2..
Just ordered one of these:

Hopefully it lasts more than 3 years >
