- Hi!
-
- I think I might be having a problem with my hard drive. It used to only
- happen when it was cold in the room where the hard drive is, but now
- it seems to happen every time I turn the drive on.
-
- The problem itself is this; after a few minutes of operating normally,
- it suddenly gets louder and sounds like it is working harder/going
- into Warp. It usually stops (then again sometimes it doesn't) if I tilt
- the front of the hard drive up.
-
- The hard drive is an Atari MegaFile 30, by the way.
-
- Do I need to clean the inside of the drive, or is it something else?
- Should I worry about this? The difference in sound is very noticeable
- (and there is a slight hissing as well).
-
- Please help!
