[comp.sys.mac.hardware] It keeps seeking, and seeking, and seeking ....

Lately, my hard disk (at home -- I'm living on campus, but my parents keep
calling me about this) on my Mac II has been mucking up...Occasionally,
when you run a program, or do some disk i/o, the HD just sits there seeking
(you can hear it).  When trying to boot, it will do the same -- it gives
the happy mac, then just sits there seeking.  Rebuilding the desktop
fixes the problem, but then it occurs again.  Is this a symptom of some
virus, or is my HD just going senile?  It shouldn't be going bad, since
I've only had the machine for about a year or so, and it isn't used every
day (it does get shut off between uses).  Thanks.  Please reply via
e-mail, since I usually don't have time to read news, though I'd love to.
I'll try to stay current, but usually I have a few hundred messages to
catch up on.
