BleepingComputer.com: Could the Change of RAM caused the HD to Fail ?

The Hard Drive went Click, Click, Click, a short time after I upgraded the Ram,
The Hard Drive is a Maxtor Model 4D060H3 and therefore is charted as having 61.4GB,

but I am unable to find that in this S.I. ?

Which represents the HD ?

You need to drill down a little more.

Click on the Plus Sign next to Components, then again with the Plus Sign next to Storage and finally Disks.
