      Sounds like that would take care of both issues.

      1. no more clicking
      2. no need to mess with the old hard drive (data mysteriously vanished)

      I call it a win!

      I don't know what happened, I stuck the hard drive behind my 12" woofer so it was out of the way and I don't see any data at all.

        I'd leave out the bit about the woofer... that's extraneous information.

          New rule of IT? There are no problems that can't be solved with a sufficiently large magnet?

              Not as satisfying as the customer service bat... but much easier.

                @MattSpeller I'm not sure that was the intended use for the large magnet, but I like how you think. Real problem-solving skills.

                      I think we should call that the Heisenberg wipe.

                        We can't know the value and the location of the bit at the same time?

                              That's what I was thinking too haha. From the episode where they put that gigantic electromagnet in the van to wipe the drive in the police station.

                                  If you are actually looking for a hail mary fix.. SpinRite might fix it..
                                  sadly GRC.com has been getting DDOSed so you might not be able to buy a copy to try it.

                                    @Dashrender Yeah I doubt the data is that worthwhile...

                                    We're probably just going to let the disk burn out and see what happens.

                                      $80? Ok.
                                      If it's not worth $80, then why do they even have it?

                                        We actually had a similar problem back when Pops and I were running a computer stores. One of our remote offices an hour away would come up to get computers that our main office had loaded and made ready for the sales floor.

                                        They would get them to their destination, and the all kinds of oddball crap was going on. Turns out, the speakers in the back of their van were um.... not stock, and were causing the problems, lol.
