Hi Adam, That seems like a good idea to me. I have this problem on two thinkpads, a 600E and an X40.
I gave the 600E to my sister a while back and it now runs XP, but it still has the clicking problem. It has a Hitachi drive similar to the one in my X40, but I don't recall the exact number. The X40 has a Hitachi HTC426040G9AT00 with firmware 00P4A0L2. The BIOS version of my X40 is 1.22 (1UET74WW) -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
