About three months ago I installed a SEAGATE ST277R-1 and a SEAGATE ST11R
controller on my XT Clone.  The installation went without a problem and
until recently I've had no problems.  Something strange has been happening
the last few weeks.  When the system is up with no activity to the HD, it
will make noises as if the heads are being moved.  The access light does
not come on.  I haven't noticed any pattern as to when and how often
it occurs.  Also I've had no data destroyed that I'm aware of and
every thing works normally when the HD is used.

Can anyone shed some light on what is happening? I've written to SEAGATE
but have  received no response yet.
