Hi! I think I might be having a problem with my hard drive. It used to only happen when it was cold in the room where the hard drive is, but now it seems to happen every time I turn the drive on. The problem itself is this; after a few minutes of operating normally, it suddenly gets louder and sounds like it is working harder/going into Warp. It usually stops (then again sometimes it doesn't) if I tilt the front of the hard drive up. The hard drive is an Atari MegaFile 30, by the way. Do I need to clean the inside of the drive, or is it something else? Should I worry about this? The difference in sound is very noticeable (and there is a slight hissing as well). Please help! -- -- Regards, << ----------------------------------------- >> << mforget@elfhaven.ersys.edmonton.ab.ca >> << ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >> << Michel Forget >> << The Key: Spirit over mind over matter. >> << ----------------------------------------- >>
