I froze it for 12 hrs and turned it upside down. There were times that the clicking stopped but the system never recognized the drive. I am outta options now. Thanks for all the help. Michael P.s. I found most of what I wanted fromt that drive backed up on my other system.

I tried it and it didn't work. still just clicks... oh well, was worth a try

I will give it a try. I will report back to you tomorrow. Thanks

I think I will just send the drive back. I have most of the Data backed up and don't really need the rest.

I have already pulled the drive. I was considering pulling the platters and putting them in another (identical) drive to get the data. I figure the heads in this one are gone.

My harddrive is clicking, I have a 75% back up but there is stuff I need off it. What can I do? It is a Maxtor 40 GB drive. Anyone have any suggestions.

I have a virus in my system volume. How do I get rid of it? Nortons Antivirus says my system is clean but I keep getting an error saying I have this virus and Nortor's has denied access to the file, but I keep getting this pop up and it take a ton of clicks to get rid of it. HELP. Thanks Michael

We are having a problem with Goldmine 4.0. it locks up when downloading emails...if we use auto retrieve it workd most of the time. Anyone have any suggestions. I called techsupport and they can't figure it out either. Thanks

Although I am sure I am not the unabomber, I am not too sure about other things. One thing I am sure about is my DSL problem is fixed..at least until next time. Here is what was up. After UPS said it wasn't them and Bellsouth said it wasn't them. I did a tracert and found out I was getting dropped in NJ just like other people were getting. Apparently there is a forum just on this on Bellsouth's news group. Anyway. I called UPS and told them I was getting dropped from there server in NJ and if they could take another look at it. Well they called back and found out that they blocked those IP address because they were getting hacked into. They rerouted us through another server and we are back in business. Thanks to all that help me out.

Now that was funny! I read that and just had to laugh...even though it is not helping me. thanks for a good laugh

try setting static ip address's to your local network and then set the DNS server and Gateway to you IP address and see if that works...I am not sure if it will, but give it a try. You might have to use a program like winproxy though. Don't get made at me if it doesn't work.
