hi
my laptop (pb G4 550Mhz) suffers from a strange problem that occurs for instance when copying large amounts of data form/to my laptop, but also sometimes when just playing a movie.
what happens is that when copying large amounts of data, the harddisk starts to make a whisteling sound, and the transfer datarate drops from the 'normal' 10 Mb/s to less than 2 Mb/s.
when playing a movie (e.g. divx) the whisteling sound is ofcourse very annoying, but often the movie playback starts to stutter.
i recently completely re-formatted the harddisk and freshly installed tiger. this didn't change anything to the situation.
what is wrong?
any suggetsions are welcome
thanks
