Hi, 64MLA people :)

I've been trying to make an image of that PB 170 HD (using an Adaptec card, and a 2"5 adapter, and borrowing power from a LaCie CD-ROM reader, the latter two brand new)...

I opened the shell to try and carefully move the drive's arm, (see viewtopic.php?f=10&t=15324&p=146757&hilit=+conner+stuck#p146757), which indeed was stuck.

The arm unlocked, and the shell screws back, I proceeded to connect.

Well, here's the sound it made. :-/


After that sequence, there's a couple-second break, then it starts again.

Doesn't it sound like there's not enough power to spin the motor all up?

Anyone had success fixing this problem? :)
