Both floppy drives in my MAST TwinDrive are dead.

When I put a floppy in the drive the motor steps back and forth
and keeps stepping back and forth until the disk is taken out.

Sometimes when I put a disk in I hear a click and the disk spins.
It then may work for a while but more often the head starts stepping
again, and the I get I requestor that I must put the disk back in 
drive DFx:

Does anyone know why the head steps back and forth?
is the drive supposed to spin before the head does anything
or is the head supposed to move to a certain place on the disk
before the disk spins.

thanks,
