I tried both suggestions that you guys gave but so far neither one has worked. I figured I'd give it a couple days to see how it goes and I can still hear the noise whenever the hard drive is running. I've noticed specifically it will start doing that when I'm running AIM and a couple of other programs, one other one being Photoshop. Even as I type this i can hear the sound too. I was thinking it might be related to certain programs but it seems to happen at random times with random things running. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
