I've been working with computers for about 6 years. I'm MCSA/MCP/MCTS (etc.) certified. Point is, I know what I'm doing.
I was just doing some intensive transferring and what not (a lot at once). My disk seems pretty maxed out. (I have noticed for some time hearing an odd beep/noise when I put my laptop to sleep (something that I don't normally notice from my laptop or any laptop for that matter).) Anyway, my laptop just made a decently loud modem/dialup-like/electronic sound and then a click/pop noise. My laptop does not have a modem built-in. (AFAIK, modems don't always make an external sound.) Could it be the hard drive (it's a Samsung, a brand of hard drives I've never used)? About 2 months ago, I ran all Samsung's test and they all passed.
