Hmm, now when the HDD is almost empty, only got stuff on the 30GB os partition and the other partition is empty I get this result:
Only moved stuff over from this drive to the new Samsung F3 500GB drive and currently using another SATA cable/slot. Before it had this clicking noise on idle as well which caused 1 sec random freezings when I booted the OS from that drive but also when I disconnected sata cable and just fired up BIOS while power connector was plugged in it had this noise so it wasn't the sata cable that was faulty but it doesn't do this noise anymore... seems like the worn out mechanical parts just decided to recover themselves or what? I would prolly have a hard time getting it RMAd in its current state as it appears to be healthy again? lol
EDIT: Formatted HDD into one big partition:
So what gives?
