Hard Drive Problem

Hey,

Anyways, I have this WD SE 160Gig Drive, that *I Think* has been having problems, BUT I can still access the drive. My main drive is an WD SE 80gig which could be the problem... But i not too sure which one. I'll need to test it. Im pretty sure its the 160.

But here is the problem, when I power on: I can hear the drive(s) click (the head unlocking??) and then spinning up. Which sounds normal... BUT a few seconds later, its does it again and a few seconds later again.

Now a hour ago, i was transferring files from the network, and it did the same thing, about 3 times until i stopping the file transfer. Everytime it "respins" the PC would freeze to *i guess* re-reconize the drive?

So is there a problem? could it be a power supply problem? OR should I get the drive replaced? Ive also looked at the SMART Values, no problems, I used the WD LifeTools? to check both drives, it reported - No Errors.
