I have a Seagate FreeAgent XTreme hard disk with me. It was working fine for couple of months, but 3 weeks back it started giving problems. Three weeks back, whenever I would try to start my computer with the hard disk plugged in, the boot would fail. When the hard disk was not plugged, he PC would start normally. After two weeks of this problem, it became worse. After I plugged the hard disk in my computer, it wouldn’t be detected. I could hear the disks spinning for 2 to 3 minutes. But after this I would hear a continuous clicking sound for around 10 seconds after which the disks in the hard disk would stop spinning. I don’t know what is happening, I contacted one of my friends regarding this issue and he said that it must be the ‘Click of Death’ that has killed the hard disk. What is this ‘Click of Death’ in Seagate hard disk, can someone shed some light on it?
