[microsound] noisy hard drive on mac

[Batuhan Bozkurt]

You have one of those latest unibody macbook pros right? If so, in  
these models hd is user servicable, and so I don't think it will void  
your warranty (this was not the case with the older models). The drive  
is under the battery cover near the battery. And the instructions for  
removing and replacing it are under the battery cover plate.
