Well it looks like it may be time to upgrade, or is it Monday morning G5 blues?

Remember a while back I posted a story about a continual clicking noise that I thought may have been my CD/DVD drive? well it's doing it again, and it is without a doubt coming from one of the HD's (80Gb and 120Gb). It always produces ten metallic clicks, then a 2 second space, followed by another 10 and so on? and it keeps on going for say 10 mins and then stops. During this time the multi-coloured 'don't talk to me now I'm working on it' wheel, spins away. Any ideas? also all the fans slowly start to power up and build into a crescendo of whirling plastic blades.

It has just done it again, so I hit the power off button and restarted. Now everything is working again, but the 'Mac OS X - starting Mac OS X' window is still on screen, with the blue progress line complete, even though I am writing this email?

Is all this familiar too you you have had an HD start to die on you? any thoughts would be welcomed.
G5/1.6GHz/1.5Gb RAM/OSX 10.4.8/80 + 120 Gb  internal HD's.

Thanks
Jon
