G'day folks...

Outta curiosity, anyone experiance a loud click and spin down noise from hard drive when you shut down? Dont seem to recall this happening before. - Dodgy drive? Should be as silent as when its put sleep, right?

Cheers

I believe mine does that as well, but I haven't shut down or restarted in a while so I'm not 100% sure. I'll check though when I get back into my room.

By "Big Al" I think he means 17". Just another nickname floating around. I have a Rev. A 17" PowerBook to clear up any potential problems.

Click and spin down is normal yes, Depends on the loudness of course...
