I had a HP Laptop that did this for over 3 years with no problems. In the end when the disk prices became more reasonable I swapped it out. I would recommend that (if you can), you make sure you take regular backups of any critical data to another media (dvd/CD) , just in case. But I would recommend that to anyone with a laptop anyway. <BR /><BR />Secondy, it sounds like your disk activity is a little excessive anyway. Where you doing anything at all on the machine whilst recording it? I would check what your paging rate is and if you haven't already, I would add memory to the machine. <BR /><BR />Hope that helps<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 09 Feb 2009 07:54:32 GMT jedd 2009-02-09T07:54:32Z A sound that sony says it is normal.

After sending my laptop to them, after long hours trying to explain the problem (a sound that was coming out of the HD) after recording the sound my self the only thing that I managed was to make them admit that yes there is a sound (I thought great at least they can hear it too) BUT it is normal and within specifications. <BR />Please find the time to hear the noise and tell me if you thing that this is normal. <BR /><BR />Thank you<BR /><BR />Sorry for not attaching the file a small problem occured.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 08:11:04 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/a-sound-that-sony-says-it-is-normal-what-do-you-think/m-p/109738#M55971 stavrosserres 2009-02-08T08:11:04Z Re: A sound that sony says it is normal.
