    Hardware problem

    Alright, since i installed win7, my HDD (well one out of three that i have plugged in, im suspecting //C: because its the oldest drive) Is stalling/freezing up for about 3-6 seconds and then making a click sound, well, from what i have read on the interwebz it sounds like a good'ol hdd failure, and lately my browser is starting too freeze up between when i switch tabs, or open a new one (i have mozilla, and in the last three years it has never done this too me)

    So any ideas?

    Well, I suppose you could unplug your two secondary HDDs (not C) and see if that still does it.

    If C turns out to be working fine, go Linux on the other two and see if it's them.
    Take that ya one-eyed, bomb-lobbin', cactus eatin', pot bellied, thug fat jigglin-chicken whoopin' big, back-stabbin lob-armed creepy spastic bloody, blind-eyed pashy little twitchy pickle-headed rocke- hoppin, potato-poppin' phony two-faced stealthy mutant bastard!

    Or run a defrag on them and see what one makes the click when being defragged.


    Also, back up any vital data quickly just in case.

    This is the best idea. Just use the process of elimination to find the faulty drive.

    Having had my HD rim itself last week, I cannot stress this enough. Luckilly, I only lost one quarter-done music project which is redoable easily, as I had pictures and music backed up, but it would have been catastrophic if I hadn't. I calculated 6 years of photos and 175GB of music and videos lost if I hadn't. Some of the vids are also very rare or unobtainable now.
