In the past I have never had a problem with Seagate Hard Drive's messing up, but today I booted up my PC. And well my second Seagate Hard Drive started to make clicking sounds every 2-5 seconds, but I don't know if it is a problem with the HDD firmware that was reported a while back.

Or if the Hard Drive has died on me, anyway this is the Hard Drive model. That is doing the clicking sounds:

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (ST31000333AS) "2nd SATA HDD in my PC"

----

The following cannot find the Hard Drive:

*SeaTools
*Bio's
*Device Manager


Extra Info:

*This problem only just started today.
*The SATA cable to the Hard Drive is still connected.
 
Think would be a wise step to back up your important stuff, could be the beginning of the end.
 
The first Hard Drive is fine, mainly because it has been working for the past year without any problems. It is just the second Hard Drive, that is having the problem.

Update:

Another term, I like to bring up the Hard Drive that is failing to be found is sound kind of spin up sound like it was trying to get working. Or as I said click.
