3400c hdd stall

[Eric Hopkins]

The chill of this Appalachian pre-winter seems to have crept into my 
hardware.  I am experiencing an occasional phenomenon wherein my 
3400c's internal hdd will suddenly spin down, while I am working, 
followed by a short and somewhat nasty buzz and hdd spin up, followed 
in turn by several more cycles of the same, spin down, buzz, spin up. 
I try to click on other desktop items and eventually the glitch stops.

I associated this problem initially with a particular Acrobat Reader 
(PDF) early on, since it only occurred when I tried to open that one 
(in either Acrobat 4.0 or 5/0).  Now I am getting it at seemingly odd 
moments when opening email messages in Eudora 6.0.

Any thoughts?

The drive is 2GB.  Other specs: OS 9.1, 144MB RAM.

Thanks,
Eric
