564429 2007-06-30 04:32:00 Are these just quiet ticking noises, if so then that's the harddrive accessing it's self, I've had an HDD in an old comptuer doing that for years and years.

Still I reccommend you back it up, just in case - because none of us here can hear the noise.

Still, backed everything up just in case.
