Excuse me for my english, but I will try to be clear. I understand that you shouldn't move a Hard Disc when spinning, because you can break it. The HD has small discs which are very fragile. It has small arms which reads the information so they move really fast. If one of the arms only touch one of the discs, say goodbye to that HD. They are very sensitive. A few companies which make Notebooks, mount the Hard Drives over some king of spounge or a similar material to reduce the vibrations. To reduce risks, I ALWAYS turn off (or put to sleep) my PowerBook before moving it. I hope it was enough clear.
If you understand spanish, I will be more clear for sure. --- Mikael Byström <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bruce, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > > >They'd *better*!!
