Copy ][ Plus has a drive speed test that should work for calibrating the
drives. Just about any computer store should have drive cleaning disks.
There are dry versions and wet versions. I prefer the wet ones that you
apply cleaning solution to the special disk and then run it in the drive
for about 30 seconds.
