Lenovo Hard Drive Defect?

I just got my new t61p with 7200 rpm 100gb hard drive and i have an issue there is an extremly bad high pitched noise comming from the laptop and its driving me crazy its the most annoying thing i have ever heard and now that i am tuned into it it just wont stop.. its constant high pitched sound and the effect is worse then a dentists drill.. can you guys take your laptops into a quite room and post if you have this same noise.. God i hope the hard drive is not defective because after this long wait i could not deal with another long wait for service..

Thanks

 

Interestingly I read somewhere other people complaining about the 100Gb hard drive noise.
I would hate to wait and get any noise out of the ordinary after such a long waiting time and money spent as well.

 

i had that issue with my t60p with 100gb 7200 hdd , i used that utility they advised and after that i had no issue , my t61p with 100gb 7200 hdd has no noise at all , nothing , i will try to find that thread for you

I suggest you back up all your files. I had this problem and didn't think anything of it after 1 month my HD crashed

 

Broken link?

btw how will lenovo replace the drive, send me one to install myself or i will have to ship the whole thing to them>

 

I don't think it's a harddrive.
btw, mine was very, very quiet.

There is a video of two notebooks with some common high-pitched noise.

its kinda like that, i had to listen to music when i was working in my home wire closet. It gave me an earache and headache, an amazingly high pitched sound..
