I'm having multiple problems with the hard drive in my PowerBook 520c now: 1. It's making some unhealthy noises when it's idle. It sounds kind of like something very small is rattling around inside it. Plus the whining starts right away when I turn it on, and it's much louder than before.
2. When it reads anything in the System Folder the clicking noise it makes sounds different. It's more of a short quiet scraping sound 3. I've had problems before where I couldn't copy a file because of a disk error. It would sit for about 30 seconds without doing anything and then give me the disk error message. I tried copying it again and it was successful. I tested it with Apple HD SC Setup and it couldn't find any errors. Is this a sign of serious failure? Should I stop saving important files to the HD? I've already started saving files to a floppy just in case. -- -Kevin -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
