hdd broke ?
well i can get it to make a partition, altho it takes much longer than usual.. coz it makes all these dodgy accessing noises, and then when i try and format it, it just freezes making that accessing noise at around 20% (after much effort getting to 20%) it kind of makes three accessing noises...- jkkk
