This could be my first HD failure. I have several CD drive corpses, but not HDs...

Anyways, playing SimCity 2000 on my Linux-Windows dualboot, and I hear a large whirr, like a floppy's but louder. I bend down to the floppy drive and it stops. Save my SC2000 game, BSoD, can't read Drive C:.

Hard reset because there's no way Windows wants to shut down, and the BIOS couldn't boot from the IDE drive...

The HD, in specific is a 10 GB Quantum Fireball lct10.
