Is occasional loud clicking bad on my 60GXP?

[LukFilm]

When I am transferring large amount of data from one partition to another, or when I am scanning the whole hard drive for virii, I get occasional loud clicks that last until the process is over. Is this normal? I've had 75GXP that wasn't doing this, but now I'm worried. What do you think? Does it do this for you?

I had this once on an IBM 34GXP, the click noise was basically the drive trying to start up over and over. Turned out the power connector was not quite in properly!

If this is not the case then this is NOT healthy, sorry!

You can find an explanation of loud clicks from IBM drives in the FAQ here.

<< You should seriously look at the video of heat problems with Athlon processors at Tom's hardware.com...when the heat sink is removed from an Athshlong for more than 1 second, it bursts into flames...that in itself should make any moron get a Pentium setup, if for nothing else.... >>

<< I'd wait about 20 years.

If you have to use the bathroom, do you post to the bathroom forum and ask if you should go?

If your computer is slow, and your in this forum, it's pretty obvious it's a buyers market right now....c'mon stop wasting Forum space moron.
