So, ill try and make this short
-over a month started making some high pitch sound after warming up
-got louder this week or possibly just today
-the pitch went from soild to soild then stopping and repeating this hour, then shortly after started making variable pitch noises, then utorrent said ther was an i/o error on one of my torrents and then with in seconds i got a blue screen, i then shut it off, then booted it up after 10seconds, now its not making any sounds and seems to be running fine. LIKE I TRUST THAT!

where my problem lies is in which of my 2 hdd's is doing it, since they sound the same as far as i can tell now i dont know which one i should back up on to which.

both hdds are seagates, one is a 250gb the other a 500gb
i have 2 hdd with 3 partitions an xp disk, and a windows7 partition that shares the disk with a data partiton(torrents)

any scans i can do? tests? please help ASAP this back up window wont last long.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
