There was a thread in this group a couple of months back suggesting
installing hard drives upside down to avoid this problem.  As I remember,
flipping the drive was an easy procedure, although the cable just
barely reached.  

Maybe someone else can follow up with more info.

BTW, that's one of many reasons I prefer an external drive: no internal
interference, less heat load on the Mac, easier to install, much easier
to remove for repair, can be carried to another machine for use or
testing.  The all-in-one compactness of a system with an internal is
pretty neat, though.
