Re: linux hard drive failed, clicking on bootup

Ok, after I bought a new 500Gb drive, loaded fedora 6 again, got
things
running and read your posts, I tried putting the 'bad' drive in a USB
drive
based on a suggestion by one of you. It clicked about 5 times and
then
spun down. I thought ok, its dead (again). Then tried to do some
basic
commands on my box like ps, ls, etc and got input/output error. I
thought
hmm, odd, Ill reboot. On reboot the OS isnt found and then I ran
fedora 6
rescue and it doesnt find any valid drives!

This dead disk is a disk from hell now. Why in the world does linux
rescue
NOT see the 'good' drive? Then I tried reloading fedora 6 and it says
'no valid devices found to load linux' or something like that.

New suggestions?
Jeff
