chkdsk only tells you the file system is ok
use the dell app to test the h/drive
you should not be walking around with it

Hard Drive clicking sound
Folks,
Every time I start walking around with my laptop with the hard drive running, I hear a "clicking noise" . Some of my collegues tell me this is a sign of a bad drive. But I did CHKDSK and the result was a very healthy drive with no errors.
I also did a complete defragmentation. This laptop is LATITUDE E 6400. It runs XP SP3.
Any ideas if this "clicking noise" is dangerous?
Thanks
Sri
