I had one over the summer that died on me. There were no problems except a horrible, horrible grinding sound whenever I opened up one particular mailbox in Outlook.
It soon grew to the point where it was making that noise a few times during start up and whenever I clicked on the C: drive in My Computer.
At that point I bought a new drive copied all the necessary shit I wanted to keep on to it and took out the old drive. I continued to use it as my primary in a second computer just to see what would happen. It got to the point where half way though booting into XP it would just grind continuously and not boot completely into windows. I let it sit grinding for 10 minutes and then I figured that it was truly dead.
