:mad Just great a brand new ticking harddrive from maxtor

Been doing a lot of cursing this afternoon, probably worse than Jimthefiend's cursing when he has a bad day.
2 months ago I bought a new pc, all quality parts with a 200 gig maxtor harddisk. Superfast computer, everything running smooth. This afternoon after about 2 hours I get a nice blue screen c0000218 unknown hard error and I hear a tick sound about every 2 seconds from inside the pc case.
I opened it to see if there wasn't a wire ticking to a fan or anything but no, further investigation showed the sound comes from the harddrive.

When I try to reboot I get my pentium start up screen but at the point I should see my desktop screen the ticking starts and the pc keeps hanging, after a while it starts asking for a boot disk etc...

A little google search showed that my HD is about to crash any moment so I hope the pc guys will be able to transfer the data to a new disk. Otherwise I know what to do in the week to come.

Damn maxtor garbage
