I've been suffering from an intermittently beeping laptop for months, probably over a year, and finally discovered it's the hard drive (WD Scorpio 320GB, BJKT version with shock sensor.) As of yet heard of mention of a fix on a forum but not found a link to the cure.
Also seen reports of a couple of other people upgrading to this hard drive and getting some instability, usually very shortly after booting up the computer may BSOD. This has happened to me on rare occasions, almost never goes when it's been running a while but sometimes will BSOD or freeze within 10 minutes of booting (not often at all though) and never though it may be the hard drive.
So anybody got any idea of the cure? Couldn't find it on WD's site so have emailed them, but it's the weekend now. Or what would you recommend as a replacement?
Cheers.

I'd suggest a SSD if your capacity requirements are low.
