The same happens with my Compaq notebook w/ XP Home. I can be just reading a book
while the computer is on, doing nothing on it, and I hear that damn noise about very
30 seconds or less....it's horrible. The performance does not seem to be affected,
but I am worried about the HD health and disturbed by the stupid noise...Any news
dealing with this?
