I have a Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive of capacity 80 GB.From the time I switch on my computer and when I put my ear near the chassis of the computer I can hear a clicking noise from the hard drive and this happens in synchronization with the HDD light on the chassis.Is this normal or is there a fault with the hard drive ?

Drive Model # ST380215AS

If your drive work back it up and replace this drive. Simple - other wise risk the chance of loosing data all together

Its common to hear a click with a lot of drives when you first power them on.
