Hello,

We in the computer business call this the "Click of death". It means the disk has been damaged. You should discontinue use of that disk as it could cause further damage.

If this happens to all zip disks that you put in the drive, then the drive is at fault and not the individual disk.

Let me know if you have other questions, otherwise Please click the ACCEPT button.
