All, Thanks for the info. Once I opened the drive up I saw that there was a pack still in there. At first I was excited to get a free pack but then I quickly realized that the heads weren't locked. In fact, they were deployed about an inch into the surface. I retracted them manually. I can't see apparent damage to the pack or heads but the drive isn't in a good place for analysis. Oh well...
