Hitachi/IBM Click-of-Death has crept up on me

First this then my 120gb secondary drive is giving the click-of-death. It's not my week, is it? :mad:

Luckily I have a fairly recent backup. But I'd appreciate any possible fixes, before I slam it in the freezer, whack it and slam it - before I dismantle it.

Not desperate, because of the backup I'm currently restoring - but would be nice.

Oh - if anybody has any grudges: Please...I've had enough now.

It was the Hitachi Deskstar IC35L120AVV207-1 drive, dated June 2003.

I wouldn't care, it was great until I took it out of 24/7 operation. :rolleyes:

I hope my 400gb doesn't drop dead now. :eek:

Just to add - ALWAYS backup. It's what has saved my bacon this week.

Thats sounds like a GXP 120, I had a couple of those in 60 gig flavour, sold them to Benherble on MM, wonder if they are still going ??
