Hard Drive making funny noises

[QuestionsandAnsweres]

I have a 120GB WD SE HD and it has started to make weird clicking noises every once in awhile. Right before I typed this it made a HUGE clicking noise and my computer skipped for a sec (didnt freeze just skiped).... Is my drive going bad or what? 🙁

I'd back up your important stuff and call WD!

New hard drive sounds are almost always a bad sound.

it's so completely true.

hard drives should always sound the same to you. if you get some new noises, it's 99% not good. 🙂
