Along the lines of this thread my dad came into town this weekend. His old laptop had a 1+ year old Seagate drive making the same clicking of death sound. I booted knoppix and was able to get most of the data he needed that he never copied that disk. He was fortunate I was able to get what he needed off. Anyhow I went Seagate's web site to download their diagnostic tools so he could scan the drive and prove it was bad since we had gotten everything he needed off. While looking for the Seagate disk tools it was cool to see they had a Linux version of the tools. Maybe Maxtor or WD does too, I don't know.
