Clicking sound & laptop won't boot

Frequently, when my laptop is powered on it makes a clicking sound and won't boot. I get the VAIO screen then eventually "operating system not found". At other times it works perfectly. Can anyone tell me what this might be?

Hi Juzzi9,


From your description of the problem I would think that your hard drive is in imminent danger of complete failure - the clicking sound is a strong indicator. Back up your data before it is too late.
