Mine makes an arrrgghh OMFG jesus F christ noise just about the time it dies, wait no thats me.
Depends on the failure, sometimes its a click death, sometimes its the retry over and over, and sometimes its ninja stealth death.
Check event logs often in windows XP/2k and run the SMART toolsets from the OEMS once in a while.
I usually work on the expectation that it'll be 12-24 months for a hard drive to fail.
