Weird hard drive noise

[Johnny Boy]

Lately my hard drive has been making weird sounds. Almost like rubbing sounds. Does anyone know what would cause this and if there is a solution?

has your comp been on for an extended period of time..?

Backup your important stuff just in case. It could be your fan...

download a program from cnet to analyse your hard drive,windows also comes with its own program depending on wat os your using.I wouldnt worry yet as my hard drive makes funny noises all the time and its been like this for ages and all the tests i done were fine

sounds to me like the migets workin inside it are startin to get tired, must be from your jackin off to porn so much they cant load the page fast enough, so for the migets sake, lay off the internet porn

Yes, I have been leaving my computer on for long period of time. I have layed of the porno for awhile so the midgets should be well rested. Is it difficult to replace the fan?
