Silly me. I was searching for "hard drive" rather than "hardrive". No
wonder I didn't get a hit.
Thanks for the link. That was the thread I remembered, but unfortunately
it never reached any conclusion or solution.
I have tried the solutions related to getting more ventilation to the
laptop (propping it up a couple inches, etc.), but the clicking continues
(albeit a little less frequently when I tried those things). One thing
I'd like to understand better is acpi. How do I use acpi to control the
fan? Is it possible that I need to do something there? I don't hear the
fan running on this laptop like I would expect.
Thanks for the help!
