Techie Goodness

I installed the new hard drive yesterday, and kept the old one on the secondary disk controller, instead of putting the CD burner back in. But, I realize that that was a mistake, as that old drive is bloody LOUD! I can’t believe how incredibly loud it is… I had thought that maybe it was the cooling fan, but no… XP spins down the old drive after a period of inactivity, and I can hear just how quiet the system is without that drive spinning, and it’s stunningly quiet. I mean, I can still hear the cooling fan, but it’s almost a whisper compared to how it was before.
