How long have you had it.

Magnets + hard drives = death.

Send it back to apple for a replacement to the new model.

Sounds like a corrupted hard drive. The croaking is the disk constantly trying to read and re-read knackared parts of the disk.

the drive will need reformatting and then the software will need reloading and you'll have lost all the music too

If he's had it near a magnet, chances are the drive will be knackared. Magnets and hard drives dont go well together.

the first time it was formatted the disk would have been in a randomised state so it should be possible to repeat this process
