Any ideas what could be?
Often it helps to clean the spindle and put some fresh grease on it. Also, if you are using HD disks it's important to put some scotch tape over the HD indicator hole.
To avoid this, you could also solder a wire accross the pins of the HD detection switch.

If all that doesn't help your drive is misaligned. But try these simple things first.
