I have my fingers crossed that someone will tell me that I do NOT
have
a
hard drive problem but I fear the worst. I have a 3 year old
Pentium
4
with XP Pro. My software is up to date, all works well and I have a
TON
of info on the computer. I do have files backed up routinely
offsite
but hope I do not have to deal with a new hard drive.

Yesterday morning I turned on the computer and for the first time
ever
something seemed to be whirring at random speeds; it got louder and
softer and finally settled down to its normal quiet self. it booted
up
in the normal time and I had no problems. Later in the morning I
turned
it off to see if the noise had been a fluke; it booted up as always
with
no problems and no noise. However, the same noises occurred this
morning; it takes about 5 minutes for it to settle down. I had some
automatic updates from Microsoft downloaded and restarted the
computer
after they were installed, no problem.

The computer was blown out last week--my husband takes the cover off
and cleans it out about once a month. We live on a dirt road in the
boonies and have dogs so there is always dust and dog hair in it.

Is there a possibility it is anything else other than the hard
drive?
I am pretty good with software but hardware is definitely not my
thing.
I do not have any problems in taking the CPU in but there are very
few
techs in the area and I would like to make absolutely sure it is not
a
fan problem. My husband can [and has] changed a fan. I cannot go
back
to the manufacturer [Monarch Computers] because they went belly up.

If it is the hard drive is there any software that the tech might
have
to just migrate the system as is to a new hard drive or am I facing
a
new drive with the OS on and nothing else, just waiting for me to
spend
days reinstalling all that software...

Pardon me while I scream.....

daisy
I've had a few drives fail and none of them exhibited this noise.
I'm
thinking fans, like many others here I"m sure.

You should hear my Server start up. All it's fans start at full
bore,
then within about 10 seconds wind down as they don't need to be
running at full speed unless the server is really cranking it up.

Once all the SCSI drives fire up you really know it; as they are
revving up they make a very distinct noise but once up to full speed
they aren't very noisy.

In fact your ears quickly tune it out.

The last time my home had a power outage I was asleep. I only
realized the power was out because I realized how quiet it was. All
the computers had shut down and with no fans running it seemed so
quiet.

Why are you impersonating our resident fuckwit (and impersonating him
very
badly)?

Whatever...you are still the resident dip***.

Only in your opinion. But as you are a 13 year old mentally retarded
fuckwit no one gives a *** what you think any way.

Again, dip***, to correct your misconceptions:

44 y/o

Ah you remebered to add 1 to your claimed age this time. You were 43 for
well over a year.

Master's Degree with well above average intelligence

Liar. Your posting style betrays your immature years but 13 would
certainly
be your mental age if not your real one.

Well over 30 years experience with Information Systems and Computers,
both building, operating, deploying, and managing them both in
standalone and in WAN networking environments. That also includes the
hardware involved in switching and routing.

So I have plenty of experience and can obviously READ the group title,
whereas you and other dumbasses can't. Of course you can decide that
any hardware question is fair game, but that does not make you
correct. I, however, can read the group title and realize that the
"spirit" of the group is hardware problems related the the OS, most
specifically the XP OS.

Now go crawl back into your hole, or come out and bare your teeth. I
really don't care. You and all your inbred kin in this group bore me.
Do what you 'think' is right; I'll continue to point out what anybody
with an IQ over 50 (which seems to leave all of you out) should be
able to see.

My IQ is most likely way above yours (or any 13 year old - mentally or
real). You have the IQ of a mentally retarded worm and your posting style
reflects this.

Sigh.

Why do I bother.

Exactly. Do us all a favour and DON'T BOTHER.
