no joy

I tried the freezing trick, and still got the same periodic "click"... also, i could not boot up any OS with the drive installed in a SATA slot (tried Vista from other drives & Ubuntu from CD)... guess that drive is now a brick.

I don't even feel comfortable disposing of the drive since it is conceivable that somebody could do an expensive repair and then access all of my data!
