I've been suffering with a problem for quite a few weeks now. My SE with 20M
internal hard disk will almost never boot the first time. I hear an awful
chugga-chugga-chugga sound from the hard disk -- quite a few times -- then
eventually I get the icon with a floppy and a ? in it. It seems to be some
kind of warmup problem. If I let the machine sit there for a couple of
minutes, then cycle power, it *always* boots. Once it boots I've experienced
*NO* problems. No disk problems of any kind.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Is this a symptom of something familiar?
Should I take the machine in to be repaired? Will I get any further non-fatal
deterioration before the hard disk goes belly-up? I.e. is this the "last
warning" before the hard disk is lunched? How serious is this?
Since it's been this way for weeks, I guess mebbe I've nonchalanted it a bit.
Any words of wisdom appreciated.
