I had an old seagate baracuda 40 Gb, well it had the same problem after 3-4 years , i guess u could defrag it a couple of time and run scan disk, if it is some sector problem maybe it will be solved
Or else do what i did buy a new one , New 40,80 Gb HDD's are sold for affordable prices these days, go to ur nearst vendpr for a good bargain

^^Dude,My 1 month old seagate makes some loud noises too.It is because of cabinet.
For once unscrew the HDD and place its somewhere out of the cabinet.Then see
If the sound comes.

I never said anything about the sound,I said it because you were underplaying the danger of bad sectors.Tech Geek said:
