My disk drive is 7 1/2 years old...and sometimes has that problem.
The problem could be what you mentioned, or it could be something else,
such as alignment prooblems or the drivemotor is going.  To keep my drive
aligned, I run a small program someone gave me called Hydro Aligner and that somehow bangs the head into place so thaat
it runs faster and quieter.  
After 7 1/2 years though, I suppose I am ready for a new drive, especially
since I cann't download with it, it doesnt seem to CLOSE files when downloading
.  The last block is supposed to be a *
and it leaves the file open...that is
a bummer when you've just downloadex
a 200 block file and it is left open
aand you can't use it

any suggestions?
-Scott
