almost thought all was lost.
HDD trouble yet again. this time it seems to have been the cabling. same repetetive noises from the reader head. ripped out the disks, their IDE cables, and the power and set it all up again.
got a hint when the BIOS would only boot from floppy or CD-ROM. usually my old Fujitsu has shown up on that screen as well.
but it was all so sudden... =(
really need to back up my stuff. now.
false alarm.
