No, I wasn't clear enough. What I meant to say that I had a HD failure with a different computer a few years ago but didn't get the click of death. So yes, the click of death is a HD failure thing.

Well, I finally succeeded in taking out the harddrive and did a few testings. I'm happy to report that, in the end, the HD was working fine. The sound was a false alarm, as far as I could tell. I didn't find out the cause, though, so I can only guess that it was some dust getting jammed in the fan or something.
