[LUG] Dead HD?

 

'ello again,

I've got a hard drive here that I think is *almost* finished. When the
computer boots you can here it trying to spin, kind of like a car
engine struggling to turn over, but the system fails to detect it. Any
other possible cause and are there fixes that would get significantly
more life out of it?

It is pretty old now, an old 10gb drive, must be about 10 years old!

Cheers,

Jon
