My internal drive on a Mac+ recently started making sounds like a wheel on
a kid's bike sorely in need of oil.  This only happens on certain discs, and
only when the head is traveling a good distance (in or out, I don't know).
For example, when booting up; but not when reading writing sequential sectors
(e.g. formatting a disc just sounds the same as usual).

Anyone know what this is?  And what to do about it besides not using about
1/3 of my discs on this drive?
