Seagate 200GB Not working

[No.1]

So the HD a 200GB Baracudda has given up. Its not the system drive, but is full of mp3s videos pictures etc...

It's making the dreaded clicking noise, and i cannot retrieve data from it, explorer just crashes when attempting to copy files over to another drive.

Two questions

a) Is it fucked?

b) How do i go about getting a replacement from Seagate? Are they generally any good with warranty claims?

I'm so pissed of right now it's untrue.

Any help/advice/words of condolence much appreciated

This continues when i log on. Is the HD on its last legs, or is ther a virus (some programmes aren't running properly) Any help would be appreciated Here is a scrrenie of Task Manager after logging on
