Hello, I am new to this forum, and I have a problem with my hard drive in that it is making a rather disturbing buzzing noise, this has been happening for around 3 days, and I am a little worried that my hard disk may fail sometime soon. The drive a Maxtor 20GB ATA drive.

Hdd's that are working correctly don't make buzzing noises. I'd suggest it's on it's way out.
I'd highly recommend a complete backup immediately.

Agreed, back up anything important now, it's on it's way to the hard drive graveyard. :)

The thing is I'm totally screwed because the shop who sold me the computer don't give you a recovery disk etc, and also when I boot the computer up there is little or no buzzing, but throughout the day it gets louder, but I dont get a degrade in performance or anything.
