Your drive most likely has a bad sector. Find the name of the drive, download a repair tool fromn the manufacturer and try again. I don't know when you're getting the error but if it doesn't boot then either hook it up as a second drive or reinstall OS.
Buck
Are you using this drive to do a backup? If not it won't recognize it because it thinks it's a drive with info on it. If there's no CD in it is can't read the info it thinks should be there.
Make sure the bios settings are correct. Then try a low level format. Drives normally have a 3 yr warranty. COntact the mfg first then if no luck, this drive is probably worthless. Clicking is the sign of death.
It looks as if you have an 8mb partition on the 40 gig drive. Was this drive setup with a drive utility like EZbios? I believe you need to use that utility to uninstall & reinstall ezbios for the drive to been seen again.
