if the disk drive is older - like 10 years or more - could be the belt drive
needs replacing as this is the mostcommon fault with older SAM Coupe disk
drives - you can get these from Colin Pigot (drive belts and also disk drives)

I usually clean all my drives heads before use it but the original Citizen

No, that's an unfortunate omission from the manual. Drive belt has been
mentioned, but it can also be something fishy with the power supply, e.g. not
delivering enough voltage to the drive. In very rare cases it can also be the
disk presence switch which is faulty. But before you start opening up too much
- are you sure you are using the correct bay? On SAM Coupé drive 1 is in the
left bay, while on SAM Elite drive 1 is in the right bay.
