Hi,
I erased my internal disk with 7-Pass Erase option and few hours later I get a message (I forgot what it said but I think it said "Overtime or Overload" not quite sure). Now I hear my hard drive "tic tic" and I just took my hard drive out. The hard drive was not even a year old. Is my hard drive gone bad? Anyone had this problem?
hard drive gone bad?

PC or Mac? If it's PC you can download IBM/Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test to test the drive. Usually a consistent "tic tic" means a bad HDD. Just google Drive Fitness Test and burn the .iso to a disc and boot off of it. if it's Mac use the hardware diag test that comes on the OS install disc.
