My laptop just crashed. I have no idea why. I was just going through random sites (nothing potentially dangerous), and on AIM. What I'm assuming was my HD just started making a clicking noise, and the laptop immediately froze. I shut down (by holding the power button) and rebooted... only to be received again by that clicking noise on the HP startup screen. After that, I got an error message of "Err1Err3". Hitting any key added to that "Operating System not found".
My only guess it that my HD died, or something like that. The laptop was not overheated, nor did I ever let it get remotely hot enough for that to be a problem. The laptop is also only around two months old.

Help. Please.
