im just wondering what are the options there i can go with

my new purchased iBook(December) is starting to freak me out. the HDD(Toshiba one) makes some noise when reading or writing to the disk. doh i know this is normal. but when i first got the iBook in December, i could barely hear any noise from the HDD even in an extrememly quiet room.

I'd make sure you regularly backup all your data. My drive almost died & now makes a constant noise.

The root of my problem was overheating - becuase I was using the G3 ibook on my bed - the mattress trapped all the heat until it literally went 'pop'

hmm overheating is probably the cuase of my noisy HDD then

the noise appeared since i tried to import some video from my DV last time

THIS SUX! i've never used a quiet HDD in my life...
