From what you described, it sounds like there's an error in the
hard disk controller, rather than the drive itself...possibly the
controller can't recognize that drive. Can you get it to do anything
/besides/ park the heads? (IE, when you fire it up, will it try to
seek Cylinder 0 before it parks 'em, or does it just sit there
frantically blinking its light?) It's possble that the drive is too
slow for the controller, or that the drive isn't communicating with
the controller correctly, or that the controller can't tell when the
drive is at cylinder 0...but these are primarily guesswork. Any more
info you can give me would help; also, you might want to ask Raven
about it...
