Hard Drive Operating Without Cover

My 4GB Seagate drive with the cover off, using the Hdmotion program to make the head move in interesting patterns and a random seek. It doesn't work properly because it is damaged. The drive was broken before I opened it, obviously don't do this with a good drive.

how did you get the drive to boot??? or did you? whenever i open mine up, they never boot. it becomes a dead drive immediately.

@izlude2 the drive suffered a head crash so it was useless before I even opened it. In fact you can see it hesitate sometimes when it reaches the damaged track.

The computer is booting from a floppy disk instead.

Wow.  It never ceases to amaze me the speed with which the heads move back and forth, 'flying' over the surface, while transferring megabytes of data. And they do this for years and years.
