Santoshima Resident: i have a tech question though
Wol Euler: okay :)
Santoshima Resident: oh,
Santoshima Resident: my computer has started making a sound, buzzing like snoring
Santoshima Resident: i know it could be the hd
Santoshima Resident: but could it be something else
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: ahve you tried turning the sound up/down/off to see if that changes it?
Santoshima Resident: just now .. it does not change it
Wol Euler: is it a continuous noise like a drone, or does it vary?
  --BELL--
Santoshima Resident: drone
Santoshima Resident: i turned it upside down for a moment this morning and it stopped for a few mintues then started again. continuous but rhythmic drone/buzz
Wol Euler: does it change at all if you navigate around the file structure?
Santoshima Resident: nope
Wol Euler: if it were the disk, there should be peaks and troughs both in volume and pitch
Santoshima Resident: i see
Wol Euler: well, dunno what that is. It might still be the disk dying, so I strongly encourage you to make backups *today*
Wol Euler: but of course you do that anyway, as everyone does :)

They do? (oops)

Zon Kwan: waves
Wol Euler: bye zon, take care
Santoshima Resident: done already, thanks!first time in years

Catrinamonblue Resident: Bye Zon
Wol Euler: :)
Santoshima Resident: ok, on to other pressing issues
Wol Euler: one last thing :) does it stop when the computer sleeps?
Santoshima Resident: haven't tired
Wol Euler: set it so that the disk sleeps first, and note what if anything happens
Santoshima Resident: ok, will do
Wol Euler: and your other issue?
Wol Euler smiles.
