Is this good?

Took some pictures. Can anyone explain why my computer stakes 5 minutes to boot up XP and a further 5 minutes to load up applications after the horrible clicking noises i heard a few weeks ago?

Make sure you've backed up anything you can't replace, and get a new drive!

Those read and seek errors look awful to me.

Then again, I might be paranoid, as I've just had a 300Gb Maxtor die on me

Fortunately the click of death gave me enough warning to make sure it was backed up, and I'm formatting a nice shiny 500Gb replacement at this moment!

Best of luck with it,
