Chances are your drive just needs the head cleaned and to be speed
calibrated. There are many documents on the web on how to speed calibrate
your drive, but if you need more assistance, I do these drives all the time.
Just let me know.

Subject: Drive crash
My Atari 1050 disk drive crashed. When I try to boot a
disk from it I
get beep boot error beep beep boot error etc. I think I remember
somthing about the beeps being a message when a boot error happens if so
could somone tell me what it means and how to fix it since I don't see
anything physicaly worng with the drive on the inside.
