Hard Drive Noise
I have an IBM Deskstar 41GB 7200rpm HD. I'm building my 4pc's and put this HD in one I'm working on and low and behold it starts this sound... MMMMNNNNiiipppp----MMMMMNNNiiipppp----MMMMNNNiiippp.
Anyone else had a drive make that noise? I think it's fubared!
Tried it in 2 different pc's and get the same noise. Funny thing is..It worked last time it was in a pc. Didn't know they could go bad just sitting around in a static bag in my parts bins.

Seriously, is there any possibility that it was dropped or even heavily bumped while it was in the parts bin? HD are very sensitive to high G accelerations.
If it was though, maybe I could knock it on the other side and straighten it out! lol
I've got other drives. Just thought it was a little funny (the noise) and wanted to find out if anyone else has expirienced same. I guess you could say it sounds like a yeti having sex. Little squeals
Think I'll open the casing to see if I can fix it. Couldn't hurt. The drives fubar the way it is now.
ygj, I'm gonna bust it open and get that yeti outta there!
Hoping I can open it --fix it--(let the yeti out) and close it back up.
I've done it before on some scsi drives in a server that were starting to crap. Mind you if you aren't having read errors grab the data and pitch the drive. Soon as you get noise that's either bearings or heads going.
