It IS the floppy drive, how would I find the shortcut?

Does it sound like the floppy drive is being accessed? Or do you
know it is the HD? Did the install software come on a floppy?
If the floppy drive is making noise, it may be a shortcut or URL
pointing to A:\, in which case you need to hunt it down and delete
it.

Of course, never rule out malware, where IE is involved.

I think it's the disk clean-up utility because makes the same sound &
runs
for about the same amount of time.

I uninstalled it last night, de-fragged the hard drive, repaired IE
(just
in
case) - same thing. It happens when I open web pages or try to type
in
urls, mainly.

That information would probably be more useful, if the symptoms
section was more complete.


What makes you think it's the disk cleanup utility?

If the hard drive is very audible, and wasn't before, it may just be
coincidence that you "installed a camera" prior. If you are hearing
more than normal "I/O chatter" on bootup, or when you plug
the camera in, then it very well could be software related. What
happens if you uninstall it?

Hi everyone.

I installed a digital camera onto my pc yesterday. Now my tower
sounds
like
it's running disk.
