Reinstalling/reformatting Hard Disk Options

[mellotron]

i was wondering how it would affect my XSKey and authorization if i reinstalled logic... i am thinking about erasing my whole hard drive and starting over... something strange has happened

well, yesterday i bought a presonus firestation. they are not ready for osx yet, so i was going to go back to 9 for a little while. i booted into 9 and installed logic. the first strange thing that happened was when i pressed the eject key, my built-in dvd rom drive opened and my external cd-r drive ejected. i thought that was not too big of a deal and that i would just work around it. then i was going to change the appearance, because it was on the default one and i dont like both scroll arrows being at the bottom of my windows. when i opened the appearance control panel, my hard drive started making a strange, loud sound, and the computer would not respond to any other commands. it took awhile for the control panel to open. i decided i would use norton disk doctor to see if anything was wrong, and if i could fix any problems. in the middle of the disk scanning, a dialogue box came up that said, "unexpected error occurred, cannot continue scanning disk, please try again." so i hit stop on the disk doctor screen, and my hard drive started making the weird sound and nothing would respond. it did this for about 15min, and then i just hit the reset button on the front of my g4. eventually, i just booted back into osx to see if it acted weird, and it didnt seem to. so i just shut down my computer.

would it be bad if i had my computer sitting 6" away from my makie 800 watt power amp?
