A friend of mine has a Dell with an IBM Deskstar hard drive. Whenever you try and boot the computer the hard drive makes a steady clicking noise and a continuous monotone beep. With the Windows setup disk it boots in to setup just fine so I dont think anything else is wrong and I know this particular drive has a general reputation for failure. I was just wondering if that conclusion sounds right. Luckily I helped her with a reformat recently and still had her backed up stuff so not too much was lost. Thanks in advance for any opinions.
Cliff Notes:
- hard drive clicks and beeps when tried to boot.
- computer enters setup fine
- did the drive fail???
