nah, im not talking about stiction some drives heads get stuck on the stopper ive seen this before,some even have a mechanical arm that releases the heads after the motor reaches speed ive seen that fail.

i all honesty,prowler wants to investigate the drive himself and fairplay to him. it is after all his drive and he really has nothing to loose but data on a already faulty drive.
say for instance,prowler wanted to take the top of the drive to have a look inside,peaple could say stop there dont do that but he may go ahead and have a look anyway it is his drive.
