clunk sound when reboot

[Guest]

My OS is win XP; whenever I reboot I hear a "clunk" sound. Can anyone tell me
what this could be as well as how to rid of it?

Go to the hard disk manufacturer's web site and download their diagnostic software
respective to your hard disk. After the test, you will know if the hard disk is bad or
not..

At what point do you hear this 'chunk' sound? If it is as Windows is
closing down, you might go into Control Panel - Sounds and Audio Devices -
Sounds, and see what sound is set up for Exit Windows. Click on Exit
Windows in the small screen and then click on the play icon. If this is the
sound you are hearing, you can change it to a sound of your liking or even
set it to None,

It might not be Windows' problem. It could have been your computer itself.
