- I didn't see anything in the FAQ about the infamous "marching boxes"
- problem, so here goes...
-
- I've had the problem once in a great while, and I could always fix it
- by cycling the power, but now it seems to be permanent. Cycling the
- power hasn't helped. I ran the Hard Disk diagnostics, and it doesn't
- seem to recognize the disk at all. I suspected "stiction", and I tried
- the usual remedy, but no dice.
-
- Is there a standard quick-fix for this problem, or are there many
- unrelated causes? I'm ready to open it up and start digging, but I'd
- sure appreciate any clues as to what I should be looking for...
-
- thx
