Ah, the noises of a not-so-slowly dying hard drive. Made even more wonderful by the fact that this is the second hard drive to die this summer. Granted, the one that died in May was both 2 years old and one of the most infamous hard drives of recent years, thereby outliving it's average life expectency. Doesn't make my wallet hurt any less though. By comparison, this machine is running on an ancient 1 GB hard drive that hasn't shown any signs of failing (knock on wood).

Hopefully I can find the receipt for this thing, thereby enabling me to get a free replacement. Barring that, one good thing has come out of this, it will have finally gotten me to replace the CD burner that died at the same time as the first hard drive.
