Feel the Love & Check Our Lists Twice
When I start up my computer right as I turn it on, my harddrive makes a weird sound. It sounds like a hollow tapping. It's a series of 4 taps, and it happens 4 times in sequence, and then not again. EDIT: It sounds like a very quiet version of http://www.thenetworkadministrator [...] ge%203.wav that click, but not following that pattern. Both times I powered up, it was a series of 4 quick clicks, 4 times. After that it doesn't do it again until I power down again.
Does it happen right as it finishes spinning up? If so, I bet it is the servo coming online and active, and is completely normal.
It's within 1 second of powering on and not anymore after. However, today was the first time I ever heard it do that. Though, if you have an example sound clip of that, I could tell you if that's what it is. (Either way, I ordered another harddrive and will clone this one over)
