I have a 250gb slave IDE hard drive that makes a loud clicking noise, and will cause my system to freeze.
However, when I put the same drive into an external USB chassis, I get no clicking noise, and I can transfer files with no problem at all.
Any experience or suggestions as to what the cause is? I replaced the IDE cable, but the issue continues.
I'm quite sure a new drive is probably in order, but I thought finding the problem might minimize my downtime.
