How do you know you had a head-crash?
Repeated clicking when the drive is powered up. I suspect the clicking is
the sound of the drive head catching the platters.
If it was a head-crash, how would chilling it solve
the resulting
problems?
The extreme cold would (theoretically) cause the drive to contract, and
expand upon reheating. It's usually used to as a temporary cure for
stiction, but I'm desperate to try anything.
