Realy Noisy HardDrive(brand new)

[Akareza]

i have got this harddrive which is brand new, this is the second time i return it for new one because of the dam griding chucking noise it makes when it seeks... now i know harddrives make noises i have 2 laptops and one desktop and non of their HD makes this kinda noise, here is what i have now

i am beginig to think it might have something to do with my comp(which is new too btw, got it from dell one mounth ago) because this is the third drive i have gotten form this store(one maxtor, 2 samsong that i posted the link for) and they all seem to make this very load grinding chucking noise when it seeks

i was wondering if anyone would know if this problem is from my comp since i have tryed 3 diff harddrives and the store seems reliable atleast from many reviews i read(customer service was realy good as well)... or if its the harddrives themselves..... the last samsong HD i returned had bad secters idk about this one which i got today, can bad sectors be cuase of this noise?or because it is new and needs some running?

here is my comp spec


*psu is 305w max 18 amp
*160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) <----want to use this as storage and new one as boot HD
*Dimension 5150 ,Intel Pentium 4 Processor 630 with HT Technology (3.0 GHz)
*1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz
*256MB ATI Hyper Memory PCI-Express X16 Radeon X600 SE
*Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

real appreciate any help u can give

you could try extending the "time to power off" (something like that) for the hard drive, that way it would spin longer and wouldn't make the noise when it starts to spin up since it's still spinning

interesting how do i do that?
i also feel this might be a psu issue(low power for HD), not sure though

 

[suprasteve]

control panel -> power options

^noise am talking about is unusally load, my maxtor is load but nothing like these... and the fact that i have changed the HD 3 times but it still make these unnormal noises makes me suspect my system
the comp tech there said psu shortage might be causing these sounds but idk if i should beleive him....

you sure it's the HD making the noise and not a wire hitting a fan or something?
