[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Help with a problem with a ST251 hard drive

I am having a problem with a Everex ST-251 half-height 40 mb hard drive that
I bought from someone which is about 2 years old.  On numerous occasions,
when I power on my PC the head on the drive does not spin, although the drive
light comes on.  If I then take the hard drive out of the computer and shake
it up, it again works.  If you have any idea of what the problem and solution
could be, please email me.  My address is pcoffma1@ub.d.umn.edu.  I would
greatly appreciate any and all help.
