Well, I'll just have to rename my hard drive Lazarus - because it's
back from the dead.
I was shopping for an external firewire enclosure and decided to pop
over to the Apple website to check the user forums for some
recommendations. While I was there I stumbled on a link to "reset
the PMU". I followed it up, read the instructions and said, "What the
heck, it can't hurt" - with the end result that my hard drive appears
to be working fine (crossing fingers).
I checked it out with Disk Utility from the install DVD and other
than a few minor permissions errors - mostly involving some twain
files - everything checks out fine. It's still clicking
occasionally, but it could just be that it's always done that and
I've never noticed because I wasn't listening (I'm listening to every
little noise it makes now.)
I meant to mention: When the trouble started the first thing I
noticed was the fan suddenly started sounding louder. I wasn't sure
if it was actually louder or if I was just hearing it louder - I'm
dealing with a nasty sinus infection and it's messing with my hearing.
