    hi, i usually move with my computer when it is using, for example of from table to another place with out standby. At this moment, my harddisk usually have the sound of "click", i dont know what does it mean, does my disk have protection module inside or not

    I did some "disk Utility" checking error, but the result have nothing wrong with my hard disk

    So did my disk have problem now???

    will Apple warrant disk for my laptop if i send it back to Apple

    All macbooks have a g-force sensor. If it detects enough movement it will park the head. Your hard drive is fine.

    It is amazing how many people dont know about the Sudden Motion Sensor, and think that there is something wrong with their HDDs.

    As stated, your HDD is fine; it's just trying to protect data loss when you are moving around with your laptop.

    If you want to be sure, check the SMART status of the hard drive. Drives do fail, regardless of it you are moving the laptop around or not during use.
