purchased my macbook back in september. i ordered online to upgrade to 1 gig of ram and a 80 gig hard drive. i have been experiencing some battery problems lately where, when connceted to the powercord, the battery icon would indicate no battery present and when the powercord was disconnceted from the computer, the entire system would shut down. i talked to apple and they have sent me a new battery that i am waiting on, but this is not my problem.
on one occasion i did not notice that my mac was not recognizing my battery and disconnected it from the powercord and it shut down. when i plugged it back in and turned it on, it was extremely slow to boot up and approximately every 20 seconds or so i would hear a chirping noise comming from one of the drives. now it happenes randomly every so often and i am just wondering if anyone has experienced a problem like this before or has any idea where the noise is comming from or if i should be worried about it. just a note usually when i hear the noise, the screen sorta freezes and the mouse turns into one of those pinwheel looking things but this only lasts for around 10 - 15 seconds...
