It's worked for me a few times. In those case the heads were parked correctly. It's likely to cause the heads to hit a moving disk, the disk doesn't start moving until you unstick it this way. One quick twist is all it takes. If that doesn't do it then try again.
best done with the drive in an external case? I know I have very few cases any more with extra SCSI or IDE cabling- everything comes quite short. Although you can buy a longer one I guess.
Thanks all for the talk about the freezing. I have one SCSI drive in the upper bay on my 6400 that won't spin up; I thought that the freezing trick only worked with older model drives than that. I'll have to give freezing a try on that one (again in external box I guess for easy access).
Thanks,
Brian
