Laptop HDD started "chirping" loudly

*Warranty Status & *Options
<snip>

This drive comes out of a 3.5 year old Compaq laptop... it is waaaay past its warranty life-line. These OEM Seagates only had a 1 year warranty back then... kinda like now :D

The only value it has now would be to someone like you South_Bit... I am almost 100% certain you can have the drive... I will ask tomorrow and let you know.

Hey Hey

Replaced the HDD with an SSD (thanks PostmanPot!).

Sorry South_Bit... laptop owner is keeping the chirping drive :( ... I just repartitioned it and left the the chirping 30GBs unpartitioned... and it is quiet now... but I have warned against using it.

If it fails and he gives it to me, it is yours.
