hard drive issue on my gaming beast

[wormraper]

ok, I Re-installed windows on my gaming machine about 3-4 weeks ago because I hadn't for a while. My secondary hard drive which was needing to be upgraded anyways started having an issues IMMEDIATELY after re-installing. Basically when trying to access a file on the drive by clicking on it it would "hang" for a few seconds or so and then the drive would make a light "click" followed by it going along it's merry way. fearing for it's integrity (and needing more space) I upgraded to another Samsung spinpoint drive

now this drive does the EXACT same thing. my primary drive has 0 issues with it but after reinstalling my old drive started that issue and the replacement drive that I bought has the exact same symptoms... bad drive???? or could something in the re-install process be causing the drive to maybe overload the buffer or something??

strange thing is that it isn't that really nasty clicking noise that you can hear on youtube videos on people's dying hard drives but rather a real light click just once as it "jolts" back into unfreezing (best way I can describing)
