Is my hard drive gonna explode?!?!?

Jakobud:

That is a sign that it is going to die any time now.   Even though it has been doing it for months, it is a sign.  Just make sure you backup anything important off that drive and look into getting a new one in the meantime.

Tahnok:

Actually, I have I drive that was making that exact same sounds (I remember describing it as a jet taking off a while ago). It still runs fine after about two years. Some drives just do that. If I were you though, I would play it on the safe side and backup everything (always good to have a backup), I wouldn't worry about getting a new drive just yet though.

BTW, I think it was an old Western Digital 13 gig.
