RMA To Return A "defective"
Jun 23, 2009
I was talking to Western Digital today and they gave me an RMA to return a "defective" 1 gig hard drive that sounded like a garbage truck for the past 4-5 days. I could hear the drive in the next room while watching television. I'm glad to say I don't have to return the drive. Today I downloaded the beta of Microsoft Security Essentials for testing purposes. I uninstalled Avast and installed MSE. After a reboot (I always do this after an install) the hard drive was quiet! The drive had previously sounded like the heads were slamming into the stops. What a noise. I also checked my processes in Task Manager and found that one Avast process had over 22 **BILLION** read accesses within 1/2 hour after booting up. Anyway, all now seems well. I guess it was an Avast update that started my main hard drive going spastic.

My laptop is Dell inspiron 1420, home premium 32 bit. It's about 5 months old. It came with :-
1.) OS reinstallment DVD
2.) Dell Drivers and Utilities disk
3.) Microsoft Works 8.5 disk
4.) Trend Micro Internet Security ( but I have changed to McAfee since)
It's only 5 months ago that I learned how to use computer by reading and asking questions. So please be step-by-step in showing me how to.

The last 2 times I have used System Restore there have only been a few very recent dates. If I remember correctly there used to be several months of dates to return to. There is plenty of HDD space. How can I correct this.

I can't get it to work. I tried running as administrator and no luck. I have a Asus G2 series gaming laptop-OS Vista Home premium 32 bit. The game installed great, but as soon as I click on the shortcut from the desktop it will flicker a black screen and just return me to my desktop. I tried putting my computer in a 800x600 resolustion and still didn't start it.
