errr i dunno where to post this :o my hard drive seems to be making noise when i am near people on online games. i cant explain the sound but it only occurs when im around people and i slow down. anything i should do? thanks

The hard drive only makes that sound when it is busy? From the sounds of it your hard drive is going bad. I would be sure to backup everything of importance before it goes. The read/write head is more than likely dragging across the disk and will scratch it to the point that it will no longer be able to read the data.
