Is it the click of death type noise?
As its a IBM drive, download the drive fitness tester from ibm's site and run that. Will take a while to run but hopefully should sort it out. If that fails then their isn't much you can do unless you have warranty(SP?) left.

If you get a blank from the original supplier let me know through here or e-mail pete!hope@ntlworld!com {replacing the ! with .} of course, as i can get them returned through work.

You don't need a receipt, just fill in the serial on IBM's site, they'll give you an RMA number and details where to send it (somewhere in holland!). Just had a replacement back for a 60GXP I had that failed.
