All i can tell you is that I've been told that if the iBook's HD makes anymore noise than a light whirr it's dying or dead. Needs to be serviced. Is it a G4 iBook? What I'm wondering is, is it new enough to be covered under warranty, or does it have current applecare?
If so, take it in.

Hello folks,
Here's something to ponder. . .my roomates iBook 14.1" is having issues. I've already wiped his hard drive clean and re-installed OS X, but it's happening again. From time to time, his hard drive makes strange noises. . .like a faint grinding sound. Then, the computer freezes. After resetting it, it stalls for a long time, then the screen goes to black and we are prompted with the console! I've only seen this once a long time ago with a PowerMac G4, but that problem was caused by the G4 overheating (it was an upgrade card that didn't have sufficient cooling.) Any ideas would be helpful. . .

This is the "Son of Pismo", the iBook is exactly like the Pismo, with the usual differences between a PowerBook and an iBook. It's got one Firewire port, and two USB's. Sounds like he might have to replace his hard drive. Well, they are pretty cheap now on eBay and other areas. Average seems to be about a dollar a gig.
