I had a problem like that for the longest time, and I finally cured it
by applying a greaseless lubricant to the disk drive rails (long metal
rods along which the head carrier slides).  I sprayed it on something
else so as not to spread the junk all over the drive, and then used my
finger to put some on the rails.  I had to do it twice to completely
eradicate the squeaks, but the drive has been good as new ever since.
