hard drives used to suffer from a thing called 'sticktion' they would basically stop spinning up properly, i had such a drive, with a lot of source code on it, a gentle tap every once in a while would get it going, but it got a harder tap and more often, and still no backup or just replacement, til one day, it wasn't going to budge.
so i hit it with a hard back copy of 'the art of electronics' which is rather a large book. It made a horrible noise and was never to live again, especially after i tossed it out of the second storey window..
fitting book to hit it with too.
