I have had miniscribe problems for years.  Try getting into
your chassis and physically turn the little motor pin looking
thing with another little piece screwed onto it then turn it on.  
If it spins up you won't have the problem again until you power down.  
The Apple drive I have automatically parks on the same sector every time
and that sector sticks.  I had mine serviced and it went bad again after
nine months.  I've since gotten an external drive and switched mechanisms
leaving the screws off of the now external Miniscribe so that I can get to 
it easilly when I need to power it up.  Sure wish someone would offer
a way to low level format and change the sector it parks on.  I'm just
guessing with the formatting  idea but the above solution of turning
the drive works quite well.  One can even leave the drive on twenty-four
hours if you use it every day all day.  Hope this helps.
