clicking hardrive

[kmc0929]

so every like 30 seconds my hd goes, click click click click... what is that all about, also, is it just me or when i type, it takes a while for text to show up, like i type and the words show up a second later, i mean i know its not a fast computer, but i mean text... and it takes like 8 hours to charge this battery... what am i supposed to do, thats some bs for a 1800 computer, should have stayed with my mbp... so can i send this thing back for a brand new one or what...

I would send it back. I have had mine 2 weeks now and no clicking at all -- knock on wood. The slow response to typing is the more distressing issue -- but they are most likely linked.

I hear mine maybe once every hour or longer......

1.8" drives do this; the iPod classics and other laptops which use the same drive (such as the Thinkpad X40 series) all make the clicking noise. Theres nothing you can do about it.

No clicking here, only once in a blue moon.
