HardDrive trouble, whoo..

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/HardDrive trouble, whoo..

Recently been getting more and more of this "ka-chink" sound from my harddrive whenever it has to load something specific quite awhile ago, I just ignored it then, but now in the past week it's been becoming a bit of a problem, usually crashing whatever program I try to load that makes the thing make the sound and what not...

I take it a piece of dust got inside and is working its way around slowly wrecking my files, so I've taken the time right now to backup all my stuff, and burn it off to a stack of discs (or a single DVD if I can steal my bro's writer for a bit)....just depressing when you have something that's worked great in the last year start just starts going foobar on you until you cant ignore it any longer, just hope the warrenty is still intact for the thing.

just hope the warrenty is still intact for the thing.
If you have an IBM/Hitachi drive you can check it online.
