I also have a Western Digital 43 mb hard drive that acts the same way.
Normally a warm boot will get it going, but once I had to power down and
reboot for it to start up.  The drive also squeaks when powering up and
some when powering down.  I'm sorry I don't have any info on correcting
the problem, but would be happy to hear from anyone who does.  I've used
my drive for three years.
