Primo. Sadly nothing lasts for ever. And sounds to me like the hard drive has the dreaded death click. When this happens there is very little you can do, trust...

Hi Primo, Just something that came to mind when reading this: A test I have used in the past with a unresponsive hard drive is to boot from a Workbench disk...
