Hey egyprincessnyc!

Do you know where the sound is coming from? Probably from your harddrive?

How old is the computer? I think your harddisk has come loose.

Blue

hey bluefish thnx for your help my comp is about a year n a half old , i am not sure where the sound is coming from, my hardisk became loose? how can i fix that?

thanx a again 4 ur help i really appreciate it

Hi egyprincessync,

From the sound of the description you've given...it's a hard drive problem.

If you can get into Windows

Goto My Computer -> Right click on Local Disk (C -> Properties -> Tools -> Check Now (under Error-Checking) -> Check both tick boxes and press Start

However, i think it's an actualy physical problem with the drive itself and may need to be replaced. If it's only half a year old, it will be under warranty

hey Garhar, i did what u told me to do n after it finished it said the volume is clean, does that mean that its ok? my computer is a YEAR and A HALF of so no my warranty is over , im just starting to really hate sony right now, always something wrong with this computer !!
