Question : Problem: My R40 thinkpad wouldn't start and I can hear a clicking sound when I try to turn it on.

My R40 Thinkpad flashed a Blue Screen of death and before I could record the message it died on me.  I looked up the Lenovo website for troubleshooting and didn't find much help.  I see the initial start-up screen but the Operating System is not loading.  I can run the Set-up utilities without any issues and when I tried running the start-up with diagnostics I see the following Error
0200: Failure Fixed Disk 0 (Zero)
Press to Setup.

Does this mean that my hard drive is dead?
The Lenovo site said that the number 1 issue when this error message shows up it probably requires reseating the hard drive.  What does that mean?
