Hard drive chirp

Asked by mark watling

After rebooting following the last update my hard drive started to chirp like a cricket. When I boot into Vista this never happens. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 on a P4- 3.4gh single core, 500gb Seagate HD with a second TB drive for back-ups. I am concerned this is damaging the drive an is detering me from using Ubuntu at the moment.
I have seen this mensioned on a couple forms with no solutions.

Thanks for the help.
