there is a thread/link here somewhere on a program that stops the parking but i am wondering if this thread is just another list of those FREAKS who meausre bat cycles and bezel gaps, and are now worried about a little bit of hd racket. if you want to record your hd noise, just turn on the tr microphone!  u can even turn up the volume and hear lots of clicking.  I wish there as a fix for THAT!

I have a toshiba 40 gb in my TR, it doesnt bother me at all. My TR is only about 2 weeks old.

So far, mine’s doing pretty good. The most quiet machine in my entire dorm room. I got it around May 15th, and it was used ( it had 6 charge cycles on its battery, and didn’t look too heavily used—still has factory stickers ).

I hope my baby will last at least another couple of years, or at least until I can afford an X505. My “baby” is just a tad heavier, larger, and more fragile than I expected—I need something more able, like my friend’s IBM X31 which looks like a workforce and at its size ( though it had no integrated CD-Drive ). This TR now acts like a desktop computer ..... with a tiny screen.

-best,
Concura

My TR3A started having clicking sounds during boot :(
After a while it boots ok, and everything appears to be ok, however the clicking during boot is very annoying. Drive is toshiba MK4004GAH. Does anyone know how to open tr3 series notebook, so I can replace the drive myself?
