I was doing some work this afternoon and the disk was busily working away,
when suddenly it made a strange grinding noise and stopped doing anything
else. The disk could not be accessed.

Now when I attempt to boot, the machine doesn't find the hard disk and tries
to get the floppy, occasionally making a grinding noise on the hard disk.

Machine type:	RT/PC (70M disk)
Machine name:	entropy.mit.edu
Location:	e40-342f
SN:		26-0002263

Thanks...
Craig Fields
