Unfortunately, that drive is starting to flake out too. Luckily, I have an external drive that I copy of all my apps, files, and disk images to for redundancy. It's only a matter of time before the drive completely dies. It's been like that for about 2-3 months now, and it seems to be getting worse. Sometimes I can launch an app and run it without issue, but then the whole machine hangs when I exit the app. Sometimes it hangs at the 'Welcome to Macintosh' screen. Sometimes the SE boots all the way to the Finder without a problem.
Sometimes the drive is detected, sometimes it's not. The hard drive in my Mac SE is on the way out.
