Not necessary. It can be an electricity problem. My computer is powered
via a UPS, but not my zip drive. Sometimes I hear this sound, then I
eject the disk and put it in again, that's all. Can be that without the
UPS, the computer would have stopped, too. But strangely (or maybe not
strangely at all :-)) it only happened in Winzedow, never in Linux.
But for my case, I'm sure it's not a mechanical problem, and it happens
quite rarely.
