| | Hello Extreme, What type of noise is the hard drive making? (ex: grinding, squelling, vibration, etc....) Depending on the noise it is making, this usually is an indication that your hard drive is about to die. I would strongly recommend that you back up anything that you do not want to lose to be safe, and may need to replace the hard drive with a new one soon.
