Hi Brian. I've installed Gutsy Gibbon and I'm using it. The problem is still present. When Ubuntu starts ,or when I launch an application like Firefox or OpenOffice, the hard drive start working an clicking pretty hard. As always, under Vista the hard disk is very silent instead.
There's also the other problem. Sometimes (it happens apparently without any motivation) the hdd starts making a "click" every 4 seconds, even if I'm not using the notebook. It seems me that it happens not because the HDD is working, but because the arm of the read-and-write head doesn't go in the correct position. I've heard that many other people with a notebook and a SATA HDD have this problem too, especially the second one. If you need other informations, please ask me. If you think that it could be useful, I can make an audio registration of the hard disk drive under windows and under Ubuntu. Thank you very much. -- Hard drive noise with applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
