Before you give up on it without being certain, I'd strongly suggest trying
some diagnostics on it. Most drives ship with some sort of drive manager
software diskette which may contain diagnostics. If not, the manufacturer
website generally has something. Just this morning, I downloaded drive
diagnostics from Maxtor and Seagate after (embarassingly) dropping something
on two drives that were being copied to a larger unit and developed a few
bad clusters.
A low-level format may needed to make it happy again *if* there's a problem.
Also, any chance the drive is simply loose in its mounting, or a cable
pushing against it in an odd way (perhaps underneath)? I know a cable
against a CPU fan can certainly make a hell of a racket!
Good luck!
