Hey guys, new posting on this forum. I've been viewing for a while now. I purchased a 15" Core i7 with HR anti-glare 500GB HD 7200rpm and 4GB RAM back in May. I recently had these issues lately. I am an architecture student so I have managed to create a partition through disk manager. I created another partition to share btwn mac and windows platforms and made it NTFS. Now, I managed to install drivers to read and write to NTFS so I have been able to transfer files btwn both platforms. I need windows in order to run my architecture programs and keep my personal files in the shared partition in case the os partitions crash. I moved my home folder to the NTFS partition. However, lately my MBP has been running slow. Safari freezes up from time to time, my Adobe CS5 has been crashing heavily and videos on VLC have been skipping. Could this be because they are on another partition and on an NTFS partition?

Also there is the most annoying click underneath my keyboard whenever I move my MBP and type or generally browse. I thought it was the motion sensor but I turned it off and it still clicked. I press the bottom of the MBP and notice it clicks when I do. What could this be?

Another issue is my battery. I've had this MBP for about a month and my battery is at 22 cycles with 95% health. I find this strange as some people have had over a 100 cycles and still have 100-98% health. So what could be wrong?

Any help on any of these issues would be appreciated. Thank you. :apple:
