Hey guys,

Ok here is the problem I am experianceing this instant.. I have a IBM-DTLA-307030 30 GB Hard Disk. Someone not too soon ago it started making noises in the following order (buzz buzz buzz buzz) and there is a pause (buzz buzz buzz buzz) its always 4 buzzes. The hard disk does this from sometimes just around 30 seconds to sevral minutes. Everything else pauses on the pc when it is making these noises. It happend before and we reainstalled everything and reformated the disk etc and it was ok. But now its back after about 1 1/2 years. This happens when for example I go to star and click on programs. It takes time as if it is searching for something. Some of our programs are also gone.. Could this be a virus because I remember stumbling across a hacking website and downloading one of thier programs too see what it was from the description but I highly doubt that because I had downloaded many before and examine them. Kind of a hobby . Well I was hopeing you guys could tell me if this is a virus or something wrong with the hard disk. I really need your help. Thanks
