Message-ID: <9007310330.AA16297@apple.com> Date: 31 Jul 90 04:29:12 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Reply-To: "Ed 'Apple Guru' Moore" Organization: The Internet Lines: 18 Well, I tried a head cleaning..didn't help. I have more specific data for you though.... I noticed when doing some disk coppies that about blook $600 the sound got much louder...after finighting my copy, I went into the sector editor..it coppied correctly, but whenever I switched TRACKS on the disk, the sound would become more or less loud..If I went closer to track 4F, it would get louder (From track to track, not sector to sector) and the reverse away from 4F. Someting like that tells me that my drives need realignment.... But I'm not a hardware expert by any means (or a software for that matter). But I would highly appricate all input on the matter.. BTW, I though the 3.5 drives alligned themselves, or is that just for speed? Please reply to me or info-apple.....(or it's redistributation) I'm sure the info could help others...
