Weird noises from my hd

[Czar]

I bought a 80gb iv segate disk few weeks ago to replace my extremely loud wd se, well it is very silent but every now and then it starts making this buzzing sound. There is no reason for it, no hd activity going on, and I just have to minimize or close a few windows for the noise to go away. Just doesnt make any sense

now it just started, closed one windows explorer window and it went away.

any ideas?

uh oh.... you better back your drive up just in case:frown:

Back up your drive and RMA it. You shouldn't ne able to hear it, let alone hear 'buzzing'
By the way, when you use explorer Windows will access the HD to show its contents and make sure its up to date.

This might sound stupid, but you sure it is not your CD ROM drive reving up?

yeah been thinking about that, backuping and rmaing it

but whats weird is that those windows explorer windows are not viewing this disk but a disk in another computer on the network
