As the only moving parts in a disk drive are the disks spinning and the
heads moving. The clicking noise is probably the servos moving the heads
over the disk platters looking for something to lock unto and then
retracting and trying the process all over again. If you want to have a
look just take out the screws that hold the metal cover of the drive, the
side opposite the circuit card.

Hi
my 3 year-old Samsung 30Gb HardDisk was pronounced
"dead" by my IT Supplier. I would like to have a go and
open it up, and see what is making the clicking noises.
Any guides from technically minded people how to do this
and what to expect would be very welcome.
