My experience is that the clicking problem is related to interchange issues. These disks can get swapped between many drives so any tolerances of track writes can become an issue. I believe the "click" is causes as the drive tries to recalibrate head position. I've never seen a data loss as a result of this. Not sure if you were on a PC but eject is locked out when the disk is being read, this is done so that you won't corrupt it by ejecting while flushing buffers.

Rocky, what IOM wants you to focus on is the personal experience aspects of your problems and to first consider alternative possibilities, however remote. Those two key strategies don't work in a world of instant, global communications and their ploy has increasingly backfired. In fact, there's nothing personal about it; the products are pure unadulterated junk and I suspect the software is at least half of the problem. Do yourself a favor and purchase a CD-R for $299 and a dozen or so $2 CDs to store your valuable information. Recent surveys confirm your experience is about as personal as El Ni¤o.
