I've done this before:

Late at night, having problems installing software and crammed a 5 1/4" disk
into a drive with (unknowing) a sticky note on it.  
	"Can't read this f***ing disk.  Stupid computer"
	Put another disk in.
	"Can't read it either"
	Sector editor, disk dumps....and several Cokes later...finally give up
and went to bed.
	Next day, after having thought about it for a while, decided that there
might be dust in the drive, and blew the dust out---and the sticky note.  The
disk drive has worked fine since.  :-)
