By 'rattling' do you mean 'accessed'?
Is it just a noisy drive and so anything that reduces access makes it seem quieter?
Or has the crash resulted in those parts of the drive where the head stepper motor is most noisy now being full?Comment

And have you plenty of RAM and is the Windows cache size set to the default?
And why aren't you running Firefox anyway?Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

As Scott returns from the scene of a fire in Tokyo, Thunderbird 1 is shot down in the Sahara Desert by three unidentified fighter planes. Scott cracks his head as Thunderbird 1 crashes into the sand dunes, but he is able to open the cabin hatch before passing out. He is found by two archaeologists, Wilson and Lindsey, who administer first aid. They radio International Rescue and Virgil, Brains and Tin-Tin soon arrive in Thunderbird 2. After the International Rescue group return to Tracy Island, the archaeologists continue their search for the lost pyramid of Khamandides, but their supplies trailer breaks loose from their jeep and explodes, leaving the pair stranded without water. Their SOS call is picked up by Alan on Thunderbird 5 and Scott is soon on his way in Thunderbird 1. Meanwhile, Wilson and Lindsey discover the pyramid of Khamandides but the door through which they enter the pyramid swings shut behind them, trapping them inside!
Notes
The working title of this episode was 'Desert Of Danger'. Although the pyramid people are named as 'Zombites' in the script and the symbol on their helmets is a stylised 'Z', they are never actually referred to as 'Zombites' in the episode. For the mission to rescue Scott, Tin-Tin wears the same blue uniform that she was seen in on board Thunderbird 3 in Sun Probe - this is presumably the female equivalent of the Tracy brothers' International Rescue uniforms. John's dialogue indicates that Scott occasionally takes turns at manning Thunderbird 5.
The Zombites' jet fighters are adapted and re-sprayed WASP aircraft from Stingray. The explorers' jeep later becomes The Hood's jeep in The Mighty Atom, Martian Invasion and Cry Wolf.
Oops!
When Tin-Tin responds to news of Scott's disappearance, a floor puppeteer's hand (with dirty fingernails!) can be seen in the bottom of the screen lifting Tin-Tin from her seat. Between arriving on board Thunderbird 3 and climbing into the elevator to travel up to the control room, Alan completely changes his clothes from a purple suit to green checked shirt and beige trousers. Similarly, Scott returns from Thunderbird 3 wearing different clothes from those that he left in, swapping a yellow suit and orange shirt for his usual blue roll-neck and checked jacket. The symbols on the walls of the Zombites' control room are the reverse of the symbol on their helmets.

Thats always nice when that happensComment
