I've had the worst problems with a ST250R.  Now I face another,  it seems that
the drive dosent like to spin up.  I turned it on one day after a rest from a
long period of activity, and it made this little squeel and stopped.  I took
the drive out of the assembly and shook it (torqured it a little to rotate the
disks) and tried again, it worked.  Now the problem-- it like to be torqued 
every time I leave it off for more that a few hours.  Normaly this is not a
problem because it's usualy on, butI'd thather not go climbing in there every
time I want to restart the computer.  Any clue as to why this is happening or 
how to correct it would be appreciated.
