Hard drive grinding/clicking noise

This noise was so painful I had to do a video about it. This is an old 1.4gb hard drive from an HP Omnibook 2000CS from 1997. The only other hard drive like this that I have is a 100gb one that is too big for the omnibook to handle, so the only thing that computer can handle is boot disks for ms-dos or windows 1.0. When I have time I'll do a video about that computer too. The original OS it had was Windows 95.

I'll try to find a similar small hard drive, so I can revive it and install an OS, but I don't think it's going to be easy in this country and in 2011.

This video is also an iPhone 4S 1080p test.

Click of Death. It's hosed.

[TheComputerGuy96]

@HoneycombAgent Yes, sadly. This is the first (and I hope the last) hard drive that died on me.

your best bet to finding one similar might be ebay.

[TheComputerGuy96]

@TMBtD Yes, too bad the shipping costs are pretty expensive.
