Public bug reported: Notebook: HP Pavillion dv2172ea Hard drive: Seagate Momentus 5400.2 120GB SATA Ubuntu: Edgy Eft final version fresh install
During shut down, at the moment the power is being cut, the hard drive makes a bad noise, meaning the disk head is performing an emergency park. This wears out the drive quicker. Shutting down WindowsXP doesn't make this ugly noise. The notebook is new and is not defective.
