In the past I did it by pulling the drive apart and using a cotton bud
on the lens: this time I was too lazy, so I got a head-cleaning disc
instead. (They're really silly contraptions: a CD with a single track
and a little fluffy cleaning thing hanging down from the CD surface;
play the track and the cleaning thing cleans the heads for you in the
process... assuming your heads are clean enough to recognise the
cleaning disc at all, that is.)
