What does it indicate. It was 3755 when I started the system today and
growing over a few minutes.

It is static and mostly off. I can keep it on if needed. It doesn't have
to move around. But isn't there something I can run one time to know the
issue.
If I can at least ascertain that the issue is with the drive, I can try
and get it replaced in warranty. I am unsure since the laptop came with
FreeDOS and when booting on FreeDOS there is no disk noise. So difficult
to convince the retailer that there is an issue with the drive.
