yes the first thing i do when i get a vintage mac in, is plug in the local talk and copy all to my powermac 7500,

just because a hard drive works when you fire it up for the first time in 10 years, doesn't mean it works. i've had it happen 2 times now where

it boots up works, sits over night, or for a week, and then spin up click click, and spin down. very frustrating. right now i have 2 quantum 160 meg drives , i open up the drive and if i move the head over (a little) once it fully spins up it starts to work, both are doing that. if i don't move the head, they just spin up and then spin down.
