We had a funny problem with a server where I worked once. It has eide
(iknow) drives and wass running NT. When it came to reboot, one of the
drives wouldlock up. The sys admin took out his handy Swiss army knife and tapped the
drive a couple of times. The drive started spining and all was well.
My two cents. :)
