[comp.sys.mac] Problem with 3.5" disk.

scott@geowhiz.UUCP (Scott Kempf) (01/29/88)

I have a 3.5" drive on my Apple //gs.  One of my disks now make a faint ticking
noise when it spins.  I also can not read any of the files from it.  My system
disk had the same problem once, but I turn the disk by hand and it work better.
I have already tried looking for physical marks on the disk surface and I can
not see any.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Could there also be something wrong with my drive?
	Maybe the heads are too far apart?

The drive is a standard 3.5" 800K drive.  The same as on a mac.
