Description of problem:
I recently installed RH7.2 an IBM TP 390E. I had ~10G's free so I made a /boot
~50MB, a / ~4G's, a /home ~2G's, a /usr ~1G and a swap of ~200MB.

All went as expected bar some strange messages when I tried to create differnet
parition sizes than the above (disallowing me to do so). Towards the end of the
package installation  (99%) the harddrive started to click as if the heads were
getting lost and had to keep returning to sector 0 to try and find themselves again.

The install stopped / froze. When I rebooted, the clicking remained and no OS
was located.  Now no OS will detect the hard drive, I have tried NT WS/SRV
rescue disks & installations CD's, SUSE / RH 5.1, 6.0 & 7.2 / Caldera Linux /
Win 98 boot disk (fdisk) .  All say that there is no fixed disk present.  

The clicking sound remains, I have taken the drive from the laptop and hooked it
up to a PC which at least detects the drive.  However it will not allow access
to any of the filesystems on it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Additional info:

I don't have the log files at my disposal right now, but I can get them from the
PC that managed to detect the drive as /dev/hdc
