    Hi there, does people notice that the harddrive of the m1210 is always running nonstop.. even when i just leave the computer on the desktop the led still keeps on blinking and make this "..chi..chi.." sound which is very annoying. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Are you running Vista ? I also noticed continues hard drive access under Vista, maybe due to indexing service.
