Does this sound like a hard drive problem?

• Loud seeking/clicking noise from the hard drive
• Windows wont load, but BIOS will (sometimes makes it to windows logo, other times not)
• If windows DOES load, loud clicking locks up windows
• Better chance of windows loading when HDD has sat for a while

Alright, just checking in with you guys before this new SSD arrives. It sounded absolutely like a hard drive failure to me, but if theres a chance I could save money (though i planned on getting ssd anyway :awe that would be pretty great.
