i had a drive do this just before it became a large paper weight. lost all my MP3's.....damn drive.

That's the click of death. If the drives are still working I suggest you get whatever you can off of them before they go completely, then use the dead shells to practice making hard drive window mods.

Yes, most likely the click of death. However, I have found that if you change the Molex connector from the PSU to a different molex, sometimes the drive stops the clicking and begins working normally again. I would still run a drive utility to see and then either use the repair software to low level format, or RMA time if still under warranty.

is it possible that you have added something else to the power string........causing less power to get to that drive??
