    occasoinlay I have some noises from the hard drive, and I don't know if they are within the normal or not. is there a tool that can check the hard drive and tell me if it's faulty?

    will for a warranty replacement I will have to wait until the hard drive fails completly?

    You can download HDTune and check the SMART data to see if there are any irregularities. The link is in my signature :)
