I have a maxtor 40gb hd and it makes kind of a grinding sound when I open windows program or anything really does this mean its wore out or what??
 
I suggest you back up your data and run PowerMAX.

My 6 year old 2.5GB Maxtor was making a real loud grinding noise ~2 months ago, I thought it was gonna die real soon but it's still working fine, after I did a format the drive doesn't make the noise anymore.....well not as loud as it used to.
