Hello!
  My hard drive has just started faintly whining.  I noticed it making
a high pitch whine, so I quickly turned it off and then opened up the
case, looked at it, checked the screws, blew out the dust, and somehow
that shut it up.  So I put it back together again.
  However, minutes later, it started intermittantly making a whining
sounds, irregardless of whether it is being accessed or not.  It's a
Supra 64 meg SCSI externally mounted to my A500 in a seperate case with
two bays (one empty) and a power supply and fan.  I use a CLtd controller.
  I'm keeping it on to grab all the non-backup recent stuff, hopefully
someone can help before it dies?  What is wrong with it!
 Email please unless EVERYONE cares about my drive.  :-)
