Re: Whenever I Restart My PC, Check Disk Runs For A Certain Drive?

What's happening is the reader is actually hitting the disc platter.

Think of it like a turntable with a vinyl record...

The reader is the needle and it sits on an arm that is springloaded to stay OFF the platter by some distance. When that spring wears out over time, the readers will drop onto the platter. Then when the platter is spinning, the reader basically bounces off and on the platter repeatedly. That's the clicking sound you're hearing.
