Clock of death means HDD bootloader is unable to find service area and load actual firmware/setup data from the platters. The only software able to fix that will have a database of drive models and firmwares for reinitialization (PC-3000). Spinrite does none of that, its just an MFM formatting utility that grew to be a snake oil over the years.
