Once or twice I heard a click coming from my hard disk and a system speaker beep immediately following it. This was during the time I switched the hard disk IDE cable to one of my RAID ports. I'm guessing Windows must have had a problem getting a driver for the RAID interface. Windows would start up and immediately hang. I did a run a scandisk after i switched it back, and no errors, so I don't think it was a 'click of death" issue. However it did scare me because I hadn't backed up my system in a while. HAs anybody ever got this?
