  Has anyway had problems with their drives after opening a window
without a disk in the drive? I have done the following several times
(by accident) and have had to have the drive replaced 3 times: I
removed the disk and had the ST do a seek, but instead it made the
usual sound that it would make if no disk were in the drive. After
using the drive for a few hours the old 'READ ERROR' box would start
popping up on usually working diskettes.
   I would normally have to close the window, and re-open it to have
it read the diskette properly (re-home/re-align the head).
   I am fed up with this occuring, is there an easy fix to my drive's
problem, or must it be replaced AGAIN!
