often when i turn on my xbox i hear a noise:

rrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:eek:rrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:eek:rr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrr:eek:rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:confused:rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

until i turn it off then i turn it back on and it's usually gone


i have an x-2lite with a switch 40 gig hdd and xbmp as my dash

this has been going on for around two months

i find that it usually happens when i leave my xbox on and fall asleep (like when i'm watching land before time II) then the next day i turn it off eat breakfast then i turn it on again and i hear the noise as described above

i'd appreciate any help

hard to say but since I'm in a guessing mood today I'll say either your harddrive is "waking up" from some kind of sleep function or just plain going bad. It might even be overheating since I don't think MS engineered it to be on for 10 hours straight.

I think I know the fix though - don't leave it running overnight!
