Does anyone have any suggestions for making a hard drive that has been turned
off for one week (and transported 600 miles) spin up? I have tried turning it
upside down and slapping it around a bit, to no avail. It does get the
electrical current, and it does do one little "bzzzt" when I turn it on, but
that's it. No real attempt to spin up.
I have backups of everything, including a ram disk, so I am in okay shape, but
I would appreciate any suggestions. It is an 85 meg external drive with the
case the size of an Apple 3.5" disk drive. Thanks.
