This is weird. Almost exactly the same happened to me at the same moment!
I have a Thinkpad 720C and yesterday in the evening (must be early afternoon
in the US) the HD 170 MB began to make a noise like a coffeegrinder. I
turned the computer off and on and off and on and the noise stayed. So with
haste I began to make a backup of the whole disk (PCTools Backup, costs me
67 diskettes). All the time the noise was there, very annoying. Then I
turned the computer off.
Late at night, just before I wanted to go to bed, I turned it on. The noise
was gone. I worked on it today for three hours now - no noise.
So I repeat your question: what gives?
