Hello Netters,

Sorry to pester the net with this, but I have an old Compaq 286 "portable"
(about the size of a small satchel) with a problem. It has a 20Mb hard disk
that makes a terrible rattling racket. There seems to be no problem with the
disk otherwise. 

I recall someone telling me that there is in fact, a simple fix for this
problem if you have access to the appropriate tools to get at some pesky loose
spring clip or something.

I've reached the point where this noise is intolerable, and I'm willing to
risk losing the disk so any info on how this problem is fixed would be
wonderfully received...

Thanks,
