A little excited are we?

Are you sure it's your hard drive and not your CDROM/DVD drive?

Ha sorry im just worried because i dont want it failing right now and yes im sure its my HDD i opened up the side of the case to touch it and it shook my hole body :eek: So yerr :(
 
Have you made sure the drive is securely mounted in your case? It shouldn't be able to vibrate and shake very much.

If it makes sounds whenever you are doing anything that involves HD access you'll probably want to back up the data. It could also just be the way it sounds, I've seen lots of drive that sound pretty loud but work fine.

What do you mean by you haven't had a problem since? If you mean it's just when booting, then just do regular backups (which everyone should do regardless) and I wouldn't worry about it too much. If it's all the time, see if it's under warranty and try to get it RMAd by the manufacturer.
