What else could be done?
Once again, BIOS doesn't see it and it's making clicking sounds.
have fun switching disks! any bit of invisible dust that lands on it will only add to ur problem, lol

do u know what the clicking noise is? it's the head hitting the disks. that damages the disks which destroys data. even if u did -- somehow -- switched out the disks they will still be damaged from the head hitting them.
