clucking sound from hard drive-600X

#1 Post by parangles » Sun Apr 04, 2010 5:12 pm

This is a sound that repeats every few seconds- most noticeable at
idle. Does this mean the drive is going ? Drive is a used recent purchase,
running Linux Mint. Any cure ?
Thanks

It's a fairly common thing. Here is some discussion and speculation along with possible cures:

Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E
