An unusual sound from the hard drive is not normal and is not a windows
problem. Make sure you have a full and complete backup of all important
data - which you should have at all times anyway. You shouldn't wait for
imminent drive failure to do this. You should be prepared to replace the
drive. Download a drive diagnostic utility from the drive manufacturer's
web site. That will create a bootable floppy or CD. Boot from that and run
the diagnostics.
