If you have this problem, the laser is struggling to read the disc. This requires it to work harder. If your discs are working but you get a lot of clicking you are probably having media issues and might want to try another brand. The backups you had your friend make, did they use their own media? If so, give him one of your Riteks and let him burn it. If you still have problems then you know it's the media.
