PRIMARY HARD DRIVE RUMBLE

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 computer with windows XP Pro (SP2) and all
current security upgrades. I also have NAV 2006, BoClean, ZAPRO, and
Spywareblaster installed as well. When first booting up the computer or
when downloading an update from such web sites as NAV or Microsoft Update,
the primary HD makes a muffled rumbling sound. After the download is
complete, the HD is pretty quite except you can hear a periodic low rumble
noise. I keep checking the even viewer daily and run the Chkdsk
periodically but I have not see any errors so far, and the computer seems
very stable as well.

Is there supposed to be some level of HD noise when there is some moderate
to heavy data activity? Any suggestions as to what else that I might check
out for the HD? Thanks for any help, Sam.
