For the price of another drive, I'd pick one up and use a drive image app to create a new image and then figure out what's wrong with the old one. Get the important stuff off of it first and then diagnose later.
The 30 gig IBM drive that came with my G4 Gigabit Ethernet was making a lot of noise right from the factory. I used it for the first year before it failed. I was able to successfully transfer the data with DataRescue onto a new 40 gig drive and reformat the drive with TechTool Pro. The weird thing... not a single noise from that drive in the 3yrs since using it as my backup.
