Onboard soundcard make noise when harddisk is working...?!

[Bisse]

What is wrong?
I have an Aopen AK72 motherboard
Quantum Fireball, 10.2 gb
PalitMicrosystems Geforce 2Pro 64mb
Plextor 48/24/48A
Teac 32x CDROM

An option is to update the bios but I don´t know how to acces puredos-mode (I run WINXP Pro), which is necessary to update it.

sounds like an interference problem and not a bios one. This could be caused by quite a few things especially when using slightly older kit.

electrical interference. you probably get it when your CD spins up as well

What can be done to solve the problem?

my notebook PC does this all the time... I can hear it "thinking" through the speakers or headphones.... it actually goes away though when running on battery instead of wall AC
