Confusing HardDisk Problem

I recently put my old HD back in as a second hard disk, for storage and
to run Linux every now and then. There are no problems with the disk
(F:) and its installed physically correct and tightly.

When running under windows xp, after approximately 35 minutes of using
the computer, the computer makes a horrible noise like something is
grinding to a halt, then a continuous buzzing noise starts and doesn't
stop unless i completely shut down the computer. Restarting doesn't help.

This only happens when the 2nd hard disk is in the computer, and when
running under windows xp (on drive C:). When running under Linux on F:
the computer has no problems whatsoever, which makes me think its not a
problem with how the hard disk is physically installed. I've also
disabled F: in hardware manager in windows and the problem is still there.

I recently installed hardware monitoring software that tells me the
tempreature of C: is 55c. is this too hot?

I really have no idea what the problem is and am completely confused,
I'd be really grateful for any advice.

thanks

dean.
