When a drive makes noise which the OP noticed and reported, drive *failure* is imminent. Backup your data, wipe the disk clean and move on - don't waste time. I am speaking from experience and have a stack of disks in my office. I don't know how to get rid of them - environmental concerns. -- Arun Khan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
