By "hard drive" do you mean the big box that houses your floppy drive,
cd-rom and has at least a power button? (This is the computer case or
just computer.) If so, you probably need to unplug it all, take it
outside, then use a can of compressed air and perhaps a soft brush to
clean the dust out of it. Yes, this means taking the case apart. If the
fan(s) still are making noises, then you'd need to replace them.
Or just take it to a computer shop so they can clean it and possibly
replace any fans that are failing.
