Problem with HD?

[Nemesis77]

My HD seems to be acting up. It's IBM 30Gb UDMA-100 drive. I'm not sure that is it one of those infamous drives which have the tendency to die.

Anyway, when I try to boot W2K, it goes as far as the boot-up logo, and then nothing. I can hear grinding noise (like during heavy HD activity) from the HD on even intervals. My first guess was that the HD died. But when I boot to Linux (located on separate HD), I can access that HD without any problems.

Is there something wrong with the HD, or is W2K screwed up?

Look at the lable on top of the HDD and get a p/n. I would back up the data, and RMA it for a noise issue.
