| 599258 | 2007-10-08 08:29:00 | Thanks for all your feedback I still haven't heard the clicking noise tonight. I ran Seatools DOS and received an error on the SHORT Test so ran the LONG Test which took a couple of hours. It found 1 bad sector which it apparently repaired, however, when I tried to run the SHORT Test again it failed. Chkdsk found no errors when I checked "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Any ideas on where I should go from here? Try for warranty? |

Backup asap before you do anything else just in case (you'll have to anyway, seagate won't do it for you if you do send your drive back) |

| 599262 | 2007-10-08 21:14:00 | oh man, i had this same issue 3 and a half years ago, only when it clicked it was due to the vibration or jolt from force, I.E slamming my fist on the desk when I'm angry at some child killing me in counterstrike lol.... Then it would click.. whir down... and speed back up... Regardless of the cause or even if you can attempt a "Fix" it's still a sham drive... Replace it man best thing to do |

| 599264 | 2007-10-08 21:26:00 | Hey when you're 16, angry at the world, a virgin, and playing against hackers, that seems the most logical approach at the time lol to keep on topic, Raptor Harddrives are great for storage if that's what the drive that's going out is... they're fast accessing but often kind of small... |
