Hello. My hard drive seems to have acquired an annoying buzz when it spins
up to a certain speed. It is only 2 years old. Should I be worried. I have a
laptop. I don't know what kind of hard drive I am running. Sorry about that.

You might want to start keeping your important files backed up to a
Zip drive, CD, USB drive or MicoDrive.

I would be worried. Download the diagnostic tool from
the drive maker's web site and run it. You can use
Everest to find the info you need:

Is there any warranty on the unit? Even if there is
no warranty on the notepad, there may still be on
the hard drive. Run the utility before you start
panicking.

I found the name of my hard drive and did a search on Google, but I can't
find the manufacture who made it. I'll try from my laptop vender.

Everest will tell you that. <SIGH!>
Look under 'Computer / Summary ... Storage'.
It even gives links to the manufacturer's web site.
Did you even bother to look?

I looked under storage and found my hard drive. I looked at the site of the
vender of my laptop and found the diagnostic tool. That's as far as I got
for now.
