I have a very noisey hdd its a 40gb and this started hapening prob about a month ago. It started makeing this loud grinding noice perhaps. Or maybe a jet engine, heh. Not realy sure how to discribe it but some days its louder then others, but its always continuis, never stops except for the odd day. Thye hdd is not realy hot at all, its slightly warm but temperature seems ok, yet ive only had it on for 2 hours. The HDD indicator LED is always flasheing, never stops. Though is a short flash every second, not like it is doing some heavy thinking or anything.
The drive works fine other then the noice, it has XP , NTFS file system, and does not seem to have any troubles reading, writeing or deleteing files. But the noice is enough to drive anyone wacky. The only change I can remember doing other then inmstalling/uninstalling dozens of software packages each day, is when I changed the case. I saw a sexy case and gave my system a new home.
Has anyone experinced this?
Ive atached a zip archive with a wav file i recorded with my mic
