Yep everyone's right.
1. recap (remove the caps, clean the hell out of the board with a toothbrush and hot water with a bit of washing up liquid, leave to dry like the dishes but for a day or two, put the new caps in)
2. open up the hard drive and just give the head a little nudge to work it loose (make sure you don't get any dust in, if you do, blow it out, don't touch the platters!)
3. work up to using SCSI2SD instead of a hard disk
Then you'll be sorted!
PS if you're not sure the best way to recap, search the forums, then if you're still not sure, just ask
main thing to remember is to be really careful when removing them not to rip them/their pads/traces off the board
