MS Office Forum / Word / Setup / January 2004grinding noise from tower
I upgraded my hard drive and installed Windows XP and Windows Office 2000. When I try to open a file in word there is this loud grinding noise that comes from the tower? How can I get rid of noise? Usually that noise is caused by hard drive issues, or a fan that is going bad. Seeing as it only happens when you click a word doc, it's probably your hard drive. Run diagnostics on it, chkdsk, and try to defrag it. nw > I upgraded my hard drive and installed Windows XP and > Windows Office 2000.

This is an inexpensive part and if it goes, it can take down your computer and trash your hard drive.

Open up the case and listen to see where the noise is coming from? Or ... take it into a repair shop. If you do this, have them replace the fan even if it is fine since the cost of replacement will be nominal next to the cost of having them look.

I went through a GW Scan that showed no errors on my hard drive. I also ran an Office Repair Disk.
