O.P. HDD noise
Just a week ago i think it was my HDD started making Loud Clicking noises that repeat numerous times, and my HDD is less than a year old.  Anything I can do or do i have to live with it?

RE: HDD noise
I think this is a sign of the drive beginning to fail. Run a scan disk, there may be bad sectors. Also, backup important software.
I ran into this problem, but I couldn't even boot and I lost all my data.

Hmm..
It is possible that it is an indication of a future failure, but perhaps not, my old computer's hard drive has made noises ever since bought, and nothing has happened.

BACKUP EVERYTHNING RIGHT NOW.

This happened to me, and within a few weeks my hard drive failed. I Lost everything. Back it all up, do a scan for errors and hopefully you can fix it before it crashes.

RE: HDD noise
If the HD doesn't boot do what I did, but that noise means the HD is failing, you may be able to get a new one for free from the manufacturer

1) Make the drive as slave
2) hook it up the the secondary IDE cable
3) Boot system
4) Go into my computer and you should see all the windows folders

This worked for me.

ya its under waranty I think, i got it in july i think...maybe it isnt under warranty, i dont know.  Its an IDE HDD.

I forgot to mention it only makes the noise sometimes and i have noticed if i just leave my computer on while im not working on it it just restarts and after the bios is done showing that message saying that there is no system disk appears, but I just restart the computer and its fine.  this happens alot like i turn the computer on before i go to school, then i leave it on and when i get home i see that it restarted and cant find the harddrive.  But that hasnt ever happend if i just turn the computer on.
