subject: [OS2HW] Annoying Hard Drive

Hello Scuzzy Hard Drivers

     Well, I did it to myself, again.  Bought a used hard
drive.  While it is working, it is vigorously convincing
me to by another drive to replace it.

     It is a Seagate / IBM 73GB SCSI drive.

HBA ID LUN VENDOR   PRODUCT          REV  SYNC WIDE INI13  CYL/ HD/SEC ---
-- --- -------  ---------------- ---  ---- ---- ----- ------------
 0  13  0  IBM-ESXS SW373405LW    !# B243 40.0  16   82h  1024/255/63

     I have never experienced a drive behaving like this before. It acts
as if it is being accessed every 10 seconds or so.  The LED flashes and
EVERYTHING!!  It even makes that most ANNOYING grinding noise like the
"TCPIP Startup" program does at bootup when it needlessly grinds the
floppy drives!!  Sheesh.

     Any ideas or advise?

     Thanks
