If it's making clicking noises when the hard-drive spins, then that 
indicates that the hard-drive has died. The noises are very distinctive 
when you've heard them before, they sound very "abnormal" (as it "it 
really SHOULDN'T be making those noises"), and are usually regular, a 
click every second or so. If it's any consolation, this is surely 
unrelated to your reformat - it's just old age.
