RE: [PLUG] Desperate call for help - HDD problems...

One thing you could try: is it an Adaptec SCSI controller? They have 2
tools built into the controller BIOS. One is a low level format (which you
don't want <g>) and one is a drive integrity checker (from what I remember).
The controller will scan the SCSI bus when you try to use those tools. You
could at least see if it's recognized during that scan.

I do hear a very faint 'click', but that's all. Maybe the motor?
