On a similar note ... I have a true blue PC upgraded to an XT with a seagate
4051 (40M @40mS) which normally works like a charm, but lately it will sometimes
fail to boot the system as the drive itself will not spin up.  Disconectiing the
power cable and reconnecting does not always do the trick (faint sounds of
a febble attempt to start up ... but nothing).  I was wondering if someone else
has had similar problems ... and/of if there is a fix.  THANKS!
