Running XP Home SP2. When I run Spybot 1.3 on one of my systems, the
hard drive sounds like a machine gun firing when it is searching the
files. I stop it, because I believe this could ruin the drive. I
reinstalled it and that doesn’t solve it. Any suggestions?

Run a CHKDSK and then a DEFRAG on your drive.. It may be just a noisy
drive, could be a bad one - more likely just noisy..

What name-brand is it?

I tried the Defrag, but that doesn’t stop the churning of the hard
drive.
The hard drive works fine and quiet on all programs except Spybot.
