got my MINI yesterday, been playing around with it. i noticed that occasionally there's clicking noises coming from it. sounds a lot like hard drive calibration noises i've heard before on my old notebook. is this normal for everyone?

I've been hearing the same noises and i thought it was my HD going out. It makes a weird spin down noise it sounds like then it spins back up. But while its doing it i don't seem to notice any slow downs or weird system problems. I have noticed if i "Verify Permissions", then goto "Repair Permissions" then restart, it goes away.
