Hi Guys.

I have a problem with 1 of my Amiga 500 Internal Disk Drives.

When there is no disk in the drive, it sometimes randomly makes buzzing noises, like burping sounds BRR BRR

.

Anyone familiar with that problem mentioned above?

Also reading disks doesnt go to well. when i try xcopy checkdisk it works sometimes and then it doesnt (gives bad blocks etc).

Now i already cleaned it once because before cleaning it didnt do anything at all it was even worse.

I ordered this disk cleaner from amigakit.com but i dont know how it works because there is only a disk, no manual alcohol or anything else included

How does amigakit disk cleaner work anyone knows? just put it in the disk drive and let it read or something?
