Just FYI, I just rebooted the G4 after doing just that. Test burn  
happening right now. Now I'll put the "questionable" drive in the  
external FW enclosure I was going to put the new drive in. So it  
would still be nice to know if the drive is working well or not. At  
least it will get a good cleaning this way.
