I would recomend the following TECHNICAL procedures.....

Ok....

First locate and purchase (A) 5 Grams of high quality SPEED and (B) 2
athletic mice, gerbils or chipmuks.  (Chipmonks being naturally speedy would
be the ideal choice)

connect a rodent running wheel to your hard drive via gears and little gear
belts

Allow said rodents to ingest just enough speed untill their little eyeballs
look about to pop out ( not to far tho - they can't see)

place one hyper rodent into the running wheels  (saving other rodent for when
the first get tired)

dangle a piece of the rodents fave food in front of running wheel

having done all this correctly you should find you have a fully operational
hard drive again with at least a 75% increase in Hard disk RPM and the data
seek time will be exceptional....

Cheers
