Hi
just had a bigger hard drive put in my imac g5 from an apple reseller and it seems a bit noisy, audible clicking sounds, the old drive was pretty much silent, does this mean i might have a dodgy drive? even if its not dodgy its quite annoying do you think i am in my rights to ask for another one, or am i being a worry some wanker.

cheers

chris

Clicking sounds are definite signs of imminent drive failure. Back up your data. NOW. And then have the harddrive replaced.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
