Re: dead HD20.
 my hd20 died also some months ago. The light would flash SOS all day
long. I bought an external drive for it but I didnt get around to
pulling out the 20M. I took it to a users group meeting, drove it
around a bit, talked nice to it and when I hooked it up at home again,
the drive spun up again and has not failed since ( about 4 months ).
On the other hand, I have not stored a byte on it since it failed. So,
knock it around a bit and it may work again.
