Re: Hard Drive Spin Up/Down Constantly

Well I have had the same trouble with mine. "it sucks" I thank its cause of
the Super Fetch. Loading all the pages & the hard drive can't take it. At
times its so loud, noise & locks up on me also. I am getting soooo many
errors in my Event Viewer. I am running vista home premium was pre loaded on
a Gateway GT5408 from Best Buy & they don't care about what's going on &
won't help. Will never buy from them again! So I called Gateway they told me
to back up all my files asap & will ship me a box to mail it back to replace
my hard drive,....cause its going bad. Why Microsoft do you put out your beta
software for customers to find what works & what don't! So now I'll be out of
a computer for 4 weeks & who even knows if it will work next time!
To much money for all the trouble! Should have stayed with W/XP
