I've seen lots of problems similar to mine but nothing seems to fit. The drive squeals as it boots up and sometimes I get the boot failure message and sometimes not. It doesn't always squeal but seems to more often than before. If I press the reset button or shut down and start over, eventually it will boot. The problem has been getting progressively worse.
My best guess is that the drive is warped. Anyone have a better idea or any suggestions as to a remedy. The drive is a Maxtor 30GB 7200 rpm. The Maxtor utility says there is nothing wrong with the drive.
