What noise does your pc make exactly?

Also, a temperary fix to stop you losing your work:

As well as adding some decent tabbing features on, its got a brilliant session saver so that if Firefox crashes or you accidently close it, next time you open it you can instantly load up a duplicate of your previous firefox session.

Sounds a lot like your hard drive is about to go to silicon heaven.

or junkyard If he listens to us.

that sound u described is exactly how similar to a failing HD sound.

what is happening is this:
As a HD becomes old, It starts to dealign.ie the platter on which data is written becomes tilted, causing scratching of the surface when any sort of activity is done.this also makes that Floppy Drive type noise.

Generally, this noise starts about 5-6 months before your HD would crash.

I had my HD failing in about 6 month after I bought my computer, so it can hapen to u too.

I started hearing those noises about 2 months back
