Since you've run the diagnostic programs and they show your hard drive to be ok it looks like you have to go the new install route. Why not let the tech bring you a new hard drive and install it and maybe you can talk him into going through the install for you. It should be just like a new computer. He might even be able to pinpoint the noise source before you have to go through this. What operating system do you have? Having him install the os for you will have him there if you need help installing drivers for any of your hardware. I hope I can convince them to send a new hard drive instead of doing the zeros thing. Someone told me that noises can't be a software problem, there are mechanical things that could cause it like bearings. But he was surprised the noises didn't happen when I"m just using the word processor. BTW, I was given MS XP as a gift, bought from the MS company story. I'm getting warnings from friends about this. As being intrusive and annoying in various ways. I'm thinking maybe I should just go back to W ME... do you have an opinion about this?
