Lines: 26 This is additional information to the article: AT&T Unix-PC Hard Disk error **HELP** References: <880@umb.umb.edu> dd@umb.umb.edu had a disk with a bad bearing. He swapped the driver boards on the disks. His disk with the bad bearing worked. i.e. the driver boards were ok. Next he tackled the disk itself. He tried to spin the shaft clockwise by hand. The shaft was jammed. Then he tried spinning it counter-clockwise. This freed it and it seems to be working fine now. I would still like to know what caused the problem in the first place and I would like to get instruction on the care and feeding of the hard disk to prevent this from happening in the future. aTdHvAaNnKcSe === The opinions expressed above are all mine and belong to nobody else. === John Rouillard U-Mass Boston rouilj@umb.umb.edu Physics Major Harbor Campus husc6!umb!rouilj Boston, MA 02125 rouilj%umb.edu@RELAY.CS.NET -- === The opinions expressed above are all mine and belong to nobody else. === John Rouillard U-Mass Boston rouilj@umb.umb.edu Physics Major Harbor Campus husc6!umb!rouilj Physics Department Boston, MA 02125 rouilj%umb.edu@RELAY.CS.NET
