IF your HDD sounds noisily, does it mean it will spoil soon?
Many people told me Seagate HDD is worse, better buy Maxtor.

If HDD spoils, how to recover the data in it ?

Most people would say, if your concerned that your harddrive is dieing, BACKUP YOUR DATA!.

In fact it's best to get in a good habit of backing up. If you don't have enough room for all your system, then just do the drivers and the reg's, and your personal info.

yeah, i backup on CDR,
no problem.

do you use DVD-R, it is too expensive now, CDR with 700MB is sufficient for most backup.
