Before you take the machine in for repairs, try cleaning the drives.  It can't
hurt.  I had a similar problem with my 1000, but with the Kickstart. Use one of
those 3.5 in floppy diskcleaners with  a nonwoven pad in place of the disk.
Then run a program like scrub, or cleandrives to spin the disk.  I find that I
have to clean my drives every few weeks.
