Sorry mjc, but the sound I'm trying to put across is not the normal
hard disk sound. Actually it's faily quiet in its operation.
To recap, it's a single 'striking' sound that's all. Not continuous,
and can it manifest itself at intervals. As previously reported, the
'zinging' soumd is additionally new, and it preceeds the striking sound.
At the time of posting, it's not making the noise at all - it's always
the way isn't it!!
Maybe it isn't serious at all. But, like the little knocks and sounds
one might hear from a car engine, you just want to find out
(if nothing more than curiousity) what the cause is.

take the side of your case off startup and see you have no wires or nothing touching the fans or if you can hear were the sound is coming from. try just powering up the HD and see what happens, then add the roms and see what happens.

mike2002: Please reply in the original thread rather than starting a new one, it's more difficult to follow in separate ones.
