HDD making strange clicking noises...

[brigden]

My Maxtor 20GB is making odd clicking noises. In the recent past, it's failed to boot. I know the drive is close to death, but the warrenty has recently expired. Looks like I'll need to buy a new one. What do you guys recommend?

I don't need a huge HDD, as I've only used half of my current one. I'm also on a budget.

Seagates are quite but WD and Maxtor might be tad bit cheaper
