m1330 HDD sounds/scratches (constantly)
Hey,
I've had this laptop for some time now, and even when I'm not using it at all, the hard drive is constantly
working/scratching/making sounds as if I'm scanning my hard drive (and when ever I check it out, nothing is running or anything). Even when I'm working with it now it keeps doing it. I tried unplugging the network cable (since the sound is exactly like I'm downloading something at high speed) but it keeps making that noise...
Anyone else with the same problem? Or is there a way to find out what is making it do this..? It's really annoying and I don't think it's normal either.
Thanks!

IS the blue HDD LED at the front of the laptop blinking while you hear those noises?
In that case it can just be that vista/ google desktop is indexing your files.
However, you should always be wary of weird noises from the HDD.
If the sound you're hearing sound really loud compared to other harddrives in other laptops or is noticably more scratchy, you should try backing up your data and ask for a replacement disk as these noises are often an early sign of disk failure.
