I got a new laptop, an acer aspire 8730, on september 13, 2009. All was going well untill i started to hear clicking, chirping, gentle scratching noises coming from the laptop. I followed the sound and based on my manual, it was coming from the hard drive. This has been going on for over 1 months and im quessing it isnt good for the hard drive. The clicking was loud enough to distract me at a distance of 35 cm from the laptop. So i looked for solutions. Im using vista so i turned off windows search, index, the hard drive shutting of after 20 minutes of inactivity, defrag, basically things hat require hdd acces. Nothing happened. Then i did an error disk. The sounds actually decreased but i also noticed the clicking was in rhythm with the hdd led. so i downloaded a software active smart and my disk health and performane were roughly int he middle of their bar. I really don't know what to do anymore and I really did look into this.
I am a computer novice. and the manufacturer of my hdd is seagate teachnology 500gb it id divided into two hdd or partition when i open up My computer
thx for any help, i would like to fix it before the problem escalates since this laptop was expensive.
