Yes, on occasion my A drive continues to click as if it was opening a
disk when there isn't one there, perhaps that may the problem and like
your friend my a drive is showing that it is working fine. It does
continue to work and is not dead as of yet but it may be causing some
problems with startup. Imagine they are fairly cheap to buy and are
they as easy to install as a hard drive..just undo skrews of old one,
disconnect power and reinstall..thanks for the suggestion
