[ale] stiction?

Over the long weekend I turned off my machine; now one of
the drives (a fairly new 5.1G Maxtor IDE) apparently won't
spin up.  I'm guessing it's stiction, since it seems to
otherwise have power and attempts to seek.

Any advice on local shops to service this?  I would rather
recover the data on the disk (I don't want to re-install
Windows95 yet again).
