Hi, I recently just got my computer repaired (keyboard problem) at this repair shop that Asus told me to go to, and when I got home, there is clicking coming from my harddrive and the repair shop is refusing to say it was their fault, it must have happened on the way home. I want to take this problem into my hands, if there is clicking from the harddrive in my Asus M6N, what could it mean?

It could mean many things, but none of them are good. If it's an old machine, it's possible that it's just wearing out. If it's relativly new, someone could have dropped it. Anyway you slice it, it's not a good thing. Sorry....

Clicking from a hard drive means that the heads are having a problem staying loaded. It normally means the drive is dying. However, the same symptoms will occur if the power supply is not not big enough for the system.
