This was a working machine until a few days ago. And now it won't boot into the OS, during startup if makes clicking sounds (I think from one of the drives).

Installed OS: Windows 2003 Web edition Hardware: Gigabyte GA-8I945P Pro , 2*160G Sata in RAID1 configuration , 2 Volumes – 25G and the rest.

When I installed windows on it, during setup, I pressed F6 and used ICH7DH drivers of RAID.

The manual for the MOBO says:

Step 1: After the POST memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins, look for a message which says "Press to enter Configuration utility" (Figure 4). Press CTRL+ I to enter the RAID BIOS setup utility.

But the machine never shows this message.

BIOS SATA RAID/AHCI Mode is set to RAID.

Any ideas or pointers on what I can do to recover my data?

Thanks
