A friend of mine has a problem with his 4 gig Quantum Grand Prix
drive.  When he powers up the machine, the drives sounds like
its going to spin-up for about a second and then it just dies.

If there a simple solution that does not involve returning the
drive to Quantum (expected to take 4-6 weeks to return).  He
also has about 300 meg of unbacked-up data on the drive (sods
law, he powers down the machine to plug in the DAT drive and
it fails), so he would like it working again.
