OK, I just got back home, and when I came into the computer room, I heard a big whining noise. The HP is the loudest computer of the house, so I went to check it first, just putting my ear next to it. Yup, it's the HP alright .... Then, I launch Speedfan, and lower the fan level to 65%. Almost no difference (this is weird, cuz it always quieted down the comp otherwise). So, the problem was with the hard drive. And it isn't the usual whining, it's a lot louder, overpowering a Delta jet engine .... Anyone knows what's going on ?
 
can't RMA, I didn't buy it (unfortunately :() Now this sucks, I just reinstalled XP on it, copied a couple of gigs of data on it (about 20 or more gigs), .... BOOOOOO Quantum :mad: You suck, I'm glad you went out of business. At least, Maxtor makes better products than you originally did :mad:
 
SWEET !! I filled an RMA request, and my drive still has 6 days of warrranty !! So, I'll send it back this week :D Maxtor Rocks !
