A clicking noise started coming from my computer.  I shutdown, took the cover off and realized the noise was coming from my 2nd harddrive, my D drive a Maxtor DiamondMax 30 gig.  When I booted up next the clicking lasted several seconds and then stopped but my D drive is no longer recognized.  Does this mean my D drive is toast?  It is still under warranty, only 2 months old so I can send it back but I'm more interested in knowing if there is anything I can try to get some of the files off it short of spending a lot of money.  Any suggestions most welcome.
