[comp.sys.mac.hardware] HD hangs and chatters.

I have a one year old Mac SE with a 40MB internal hard drive
from Apple.  Lately it has been starting to 'hang' for 10-20
second intervals.  During this time, the drive light is on and it
sounds like the head is furiously moving back and forth somewhere.
If I hit the Mac, or power down the machine, the drive is OK.

Any ideas on whether this problem is fixable?  Any ideas on *how*
I can get it fixed (I don't have AppleCare, of course!).

Thanks!
