I have a WD 20GB 7200RPM ATA66 drive as my C drive. It's about 2 years old. Several times in the last week it started making loud clicking sounds and would stop responding ( As B. Gates would say) Windows froze waiting for the drive. I shut down and booted up WD's DOS drive tester and it passed all tests (and no more clicking either). I booted up WinMe again and all was well for a few days. Today, the exact thing happened again.......and the drive is working fine now, AGAIN!
I am pretty sure the drive's days are #ed, but what is happening?
I'd also like someone to suggest a way I can copy my current C drive to another Maxtor drive I have so I can swap them out without a reinstall. Thanks
