We have a ci the hard disk of which occasionally makes a whirring
sound, like one would expect the hard disk to make when spinning, only
disturbingly loud.  It is intermittent, more frequent shortly after
start-up, and dims perceptibly when the hard disk is actually being
accessed (i.e. when the light is on).

Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Does this sound like something I
should be really concerned about?  Any idea what might be causing it?

Many thanks,
