Chuck, this might sound a bit odd, but have you tried flipping the drive
upside down (powered off) and then powering it back up again to see if the
noise diminishes? I had an old CMI(?) 20MB drive that needed this to
_not_ squeal like it was being killed. :)

Sigh, says Maxtor 2190 on the label. Hmmmm, I suppose I could take apart
but probably won't, the noise is pretty incredible though.
