Title: Hard Drive Clicking Noise...
Post by: Questi4110 on August 16, 2003, 08:47:00 AM

yeah i dont think this has anything to do with the xbox. It is a basic hard drive failure. If you have a warranty on the hard drive i suggest your return and replace it.

Just thought too, HD will click somtimes if they are under powered aswell. They require a slightly high power consumption at first spin up.
I have had a case with a PC where the HD wasnt getting enough power
at bootup, and would click like crazy. I would plug the HD into your PC and see if it still make the clicking noise. If so then the drive is prob spent. But its worth a try to see if the drive is really the prob.

Yeah, i put the hard drive in my comp and it still makes click noises, so back to newegg it goes. The second problem, though, is that the old hard drive is giving me error 16 >:/. Thats improper modchip alignment if the old hardrive was running evox perfectly before?

Error 16 is a dashboard error or related files.

Try and boot it with an evox cd and check to see that your
files are in order.
