[comp.sys.mac.hardware] problem: HD not unparking

ml27192@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (lanett mark) (02/17/91)

I have an internal 70mb Rodime drive which is not booting properly. It makes
clicking noises instead of the unparking sound I usually hear, and after five
tries stops, so I assume it has a problem with moving the heads and not that it
has crashed. It is from Jasmine--their software sees a device on the SCSI
bus at its address but does not recognize it.

I'd like to hear what you may know about this sort of situation. Is my best bet
just to send it back to Jasmine for fixing? Is it the sort of problem that
_can_ be fixed (I'm not happy about losing all that data). Is Jasmine the
best place to send it to, or would any shop do?

Thanks much for any advice/suggestions/comments...
