Some hard drives are just loud, and there is always something for hard drives to do even when you think it shouldn't be writing.  However a loud hard drive often has a short life ahead; keep your valuable files backed up, be careful.

If you are hearing any noise as the drive spins then it may be a disk failure.  If there is no noise then there may be hope...check the link below..scroll down to see a list of utilities that may help.  Good luck.

It sounds like your RAM may be damaged and may need replaced.

I just had the same thing happen to me. It was a defective hard drive on my computer causing the issue.....I took it to the Geek Squad for repair....It wasn't an old computer either, 3 months old....Hope this helps!!\n\nGL;)

I believe it's indicating a damaged part of your hard drive.\n\nI would conduct a defragmentation of the drive.\n\nIdeally back up your data and then re-format your hard-drive and start again.  Timely but effective.

Noisey drives often have bad bearings. They spin very rapidly and wear out over time.\nThe fact that the light is on with no disk indicates a malfunction. Try erasing and reinstalling the driver.\nIt may be time to install a new drive. See a tecnician.

This is an odd problem but not surprising given the fickle nature of computers and their respective accessories. Here are a few suggestions for ya anyway sweetie...\n\n1. Try running a disk check by right clicking My Computer, Properties, going into the Tools tab and clicking on Check Now.\n\n2. Shut down your computer, wait a few minutes and see if the problem is still there.\n\n3. Go to your device manager and see if any audio device is listed. If not, you will probably need to download some drivers or a new sound manager.

It sounds like there is a lose connection between the hard drive and the motherboard.  Check your ribbon cable.  If that is not it maybe do a chkdsk/f to check for any errors the drive may have.

if its making a loud whurrrrring sound, like a hum in way that means your air input fans and/or power unit fan are clogged with dirt and the fan is straining, causing the noise.\n\nif you have a fan on your processor as well, check it.

normal. but if your computer is in an encoles space on most sides, it could be overheating. just move it out into a more open area. the noise should die down a bit. but it is normal. the buzzing means that all of the grears are moving properly.

If it isn't automatically detecting it, you'll likely need to manually enter the information.  There should be an option in the bios to manually enter it - you'll likely need to consult your HD documentation to get the drive's geometry so you can input it.

a Few checks that might sound stupid.\n1) check all cables are secure\n2) when you boot do you hear more or less beeps than before and if yes the length of them.\n3) does the hard drive kick in\nif these all work then it sounds as if you monitor is up the creek

I've seen this message before and the cause was the cable being used to connect the hard drive to the motherboard.  Try to swap out the cable and see if it works.  \n\nOtherwise, you might have a hard drive problem.

Is the noise still there you may have something running in the back ground. Shut down and reboot. If noise is still there call tech support.

It sounds like a boot write virus... EEK! That's horrible. It could also be a few other things. System bios settings. Bad hard drive. You know I would suggest the good old restore disk. I hate to say it, but if all else fails turn to a tech.
