Most live CDs support to load all data into the RAM before starting the OS. So it wouldn't matter if you take the CD out of the drive while the OS is running.
To enable this feature you have to add the kernel boot option 'toram'.
That option was broken in some Ubuntu releases. I think it is fixed now, but I'm not sure.

The infamous Click of Death , as the name suggests, indicates your HDD is on it's last days, backup everything important ASAP and start looking for a replacement.
Somtimes HDDs click but manage to recover, but the system not crashing isn't a sign everything is ok, you just got lucky the HDD isn't dead yet, it is just a matter of time before you can't use it anymore.

Yep. Get a replacement drive immediately. I had this once, and while managed to copy everything i still ****ed up. But that's another story.
