    sony vaio vpcea3s1e disturbing hdd noise

    hello,

    i have disturbing "zzzzzzzz" sound whenever i attempt to reach a file or folder, and it lasts for ten seconds after opening it. It is terribly disturbing and i haven't found any solution for it.

    i have also windows 7 installed on my laptop. But i do not have any noise issue when using it.

    i think it all started after shrinking volume to be able to install ubuntu. at first windows did not let me shrink volume bigger than 200 mb. After that, i used recuva disk software to consolidate free space. Finally i was able to shrink.

    is it a faulty hard drive or a software issue?
    how can i solve it ?

    thank you

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Probably a software driver issue. Is the drive an IDE or Sata device?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
