I have been hearing this loud clank noise with the Hard Drives with our Laptops, it happens very now and then. Sometimes I will hear the computers make a low sounding internal deep when the HD clank routine. We have a small home network and we are using Win XP home. The network has Dell, Compaq, and HP laptops connected at one time or another.
I am concerned that there maybe a virus infecting these computers and is trying to distory the HD. I have done a thorough virus scan with Norton Antivirus, it has found nothing.
The laptops do not have to be networked for the HD clank to happen. This HD clanking has been going on for a long time with my Compaq, I thought it was normal. But when I recently got my Dell laptop, it too would make the same loud clank sound and internal deep sound.
It just did it now with the system beep while writing this post! It has done it twice during the past 15 minutes now.
Any ideas?
