Yeah, it'll start, but what you are describing pretty much is exactly what I'm talking about. A lot of games don't have this problem, that's for sure, but this one does.
As I currently suspect, it's all a matter of the drive just taking too much time speeding up to a speed it really doesn't need to be at anyway, and then making the mistake of not just STAYING there. Your's is noisy, so I imagine you wouldn't like it if it did. The only solution would be some unofficial patch that lets the game control newer drive's speed. Anyway, again I'll be testing the game with an older drive to confirm my suspicions.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
