[Mr. Mumbles]

I can hear my hard drive changing speeds and sometimes sounds like its reving. Is that bad?

 

[Jori]

No. That means that its reading data... Its fine, all comps do that.

if it does that all the time, probably yes. but at startup or every once in a while thats normal

 

[RunningRioT]

no, it just means u have a loud hard drive.

if you hear a clicking, then u should start worrying.

 

[Mr. Mumbles]

sometimes it makes little dinking sounds that dont sound like it is thinking

 

[Jori]

On this note, sometimes this comp.. I dunno if its just the CPU fan or the HD but it like vibrates.. Like I can feel it on the desk, then it goes away. Any ideas?

im pretty sure thats a cd drive....but sometimes harddrives vibrate alot too

 

[The Bartender Paradox]

its the cd and hard drive vibrating. i had that happening to me then i attaced ALL the mounting screws on the cd and Hd and it went away.

 

[Jori]

Allright thanks.

Clicking = BAD

heheh... I know first hand what clicking leads to... usually a loud PING sound followed by a grotesque SCREEEECH!

 

[Mr. Mumbles]

Anyone know how to copy a whole hard drive to another brand new one without using the burning cd method?

there are programs out there to make a clone of the drive which is what you need to do but i dont know of any off the top of my head.
