I once had this same problem, and if my memory doesn't fail me, the
solution for me was that I unchecked the "Sync data transfer" for CDRom
(in Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> CDROM -> [Name] ->
Properties -> Settings). The hard disk has been nice and quiet since
then :-). I don't know how important flag that one is, but if you have
it checked, try to uncheck it - trying won't hurt anyway...
