Make sure it isn't a cable acutated disk brake. If it is, it is possible to adjust some slack into it. If the brake is indeed hydraulic, you wont be able to adjust it. A lack of brake fluid wouldn't cause the brake to drag. You could check for return springs and make sure the pads are seated into the caliper correctly. You could even disassemble the brake and use brake grease on the sliding parts. If the drag is very slight, I wouldn't worry about it; the drag will disappear within the first few miles especially if you use the brakes.

Squeaking axles

It's almost certainly a slightly binding brake, it often happens, especially if you have a sticky hand brake cable/ leaver. I've posted a full answer here as another Pride post.

Sueaky front wheel

It could be a number of things. First check your brakes for any rocks or excessive dirt. Second, check to make sure you are not in need of new brake pads. Brake pads are equipped with a tab that starts making noise when its time to replace your brakes. Third, have the bearing checked. Once the bearing get excessively worn they will start making a squeaky sound. Also have the shocks checked. the bushing worn out in shocks can also cause the noise. The best bet is to have your local mechanic inspect your front end for any wear. Once he does this, he can compile a list of parts that need replaced. Then you can replace or fix it yourself.
