Yesterday I posted a message about how my disk drive was broken. Well, just
that night, I was fooling with it.... one of the things I did was to gently
push down the top head and, wonder of wonders, it worked! So...get this... I
taped a nickel to the head, put the thing back together, and I've had no more
problems.
Does anyone have any idea what could suddenly cause this happen to the head?
Maybe a disk went in the wrong way or something.
Thanks to all those who sent me mail on this.
