Okay so my laptop SATA 120 GB harddrive starts up fine and I can install some games and just do normal stuff. But when I install Renegade or copy some files or other installing and stuff I get horrible clicking noise from my harddrive and I get the BSOD. So I tried chkdsk /r inside of CMD and when it got down to stage 5 (fixing freespace) it did the same thing and I got the BSOD. So what is the issue.
Also do you think $64.18 is a good price of a 160GB notebook harddrive?

I would think it obvious but clicking = very bad. That drive is on its way out. I wouldn't store anything important on that hard drive.
As for the price a little more spec info would be helpful.

I don't know what you use your laptop for so it might not matter but that isn't the greatest drive. The price though really isn't to bad.

Click-o-Death!
Talk to your laptop's manufacturer (whatever at spelling) and get a replacement harddrive..or send your laptop in for maintence and have them replace it for you.
