MAC Hard drive problem

lostkat · 03-09-2006, 16:41

My Dad's hard drive on his G4 won't boot his machine, and is making a strange noise, which I can only describe as a whining dog. He has 2 HDD's, so he can still boot from one, but it has a sad face displaying against "old hard drive".

I know I am asking the obvious here, but is his old HDD dead? Just want to make sure I've given him the right advice.

Is the whining dog noise a "Mac" noise, or just the old hard drive whimpering?

Thanks in advance for any help
