Tin whisker problems????

Had a silly problem with a friends computer. Hard drive wasn't
recognized by the bios in two computers. After inspecting for bad
solder joints, I brushed all the IC leads with a toothbrush. Presto,
drive is recognized by the bios. Unfortunately, the boot partition FAT
was munched, but, was able to recover most of the valuable data. Drive
is still working 2 days later.
I want to say this is a tin whisker issue, but it could have been a
bum joint too. Was Hitachi (IBM) using lead-free in mid 2005?
