Roy, Yeah, pulling the 3000 apart to rap a drive would be a hassle. I was thinking of it as a test, just to see if the stiction was indeed the problem. On my #3 backup system I have a Seagate that sticks… it's on a long cable outside the case. So if it doesn't spin up, I can pick it up off the desk and poke the spindle with a screwdriver. 🙂 Ugly, but it works. Anyway, sending it back to Quantum would be your best bet. That's too big a drive to relegate to paperweight mode. -Jim MOS via Autopilot & Amiga
