Will it *please* just die already? by Khaar2007-03-05 01:56:41
  Had a disk like that by ideur 2007-03-05 02:23:41
The spindle made a loud high pitched noise.
- saved the data
- removed the top cover of the disk and restarted the disk
- no visible damage to the disks ...
- removed on platter at the time to see if a head was "crashed"
- the spindle motor was making that noise ...
I saved only the magnets ... I will use them to "fish" metallic object out of the swimming pool :-)

I have another similar sounding disk waiting ... will try to "fix" the spindle with some oil ...
