I have a Compac that has recently been plauging me with problems.
The latest one is with the 30 MEG Harddrive.  I am still running
the original one with its controller.  It's in a '286 Portable.  Last
time I moved the system (without PREPARE SYS FOR RELOCATION) I gave
it quite a shock.  The hardware components appear intact  (It boots
and runs from Drive A fine) but at boot up, the hard drive spins
normally at first and then begins to spin very fast and loosely.  Do I
need to realign the head?  If so how is it done?  I really appreciate
any input.
My Sincere Thanks
Jake   2flncamber@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu
