[QUOTE="chscag, post: 696882, member: 46727"] Is it the superdrive or the hard drive that's making the noise? The hard drive is protected by a "sudden motion sensor" which will lock the heads down if the drive is moved while it's turned on. It's not a good idea to move your MacBook around while it's turned on and not in sleep mode. :Grimmace: Regards. [/QUOTE]
