My hard drive has recently begun to make a noise while it is spinning up during the boot process. As the PC boots it slowly gets slower like it is noise from the spin rate of the hard drive as it is being read to/from. It eventually sounds normal like it did previously once the boot process is complete. This hd is only 3-4 months old. It is a western digital 80 gb. I had another one do the same thing for a while. It wound up with a CRC error on it which happened to be in my mail file. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to troubleshoot it, so I just put in the new hd. Is the noise a sign of failure?
