I reformatted my hdd and reinstalled a fresh copy of panther and it still didn't solve the problem. I ran the hardware test and it says my hardware has no problems.


What's going on?
Maybe it isn't the HD clicking at all. My PB clicks aswell (even when idle), but I thought it might be the graphics card (for some reason).
