At Tue, 29 May 2001 it looks like Burton Windle composed: BW-->You realized that there is a 99% chance that opening the case of your hard BW-->drive will completly ruin the drive, right? The heads are *so* close to BW-->that platters that dust, etc can totally screw them up. Unless you are a BW-->trained person, in a clean-room/ESD-free area, I bet you toast the drive. BW--> BW-->-- BW-->Burton Windle burton@fint.org BW-->Linux: the "grim reaper of innocent orphaned children." BW--> from /usr/src/linux-2.4.0/init/main.c:655 BW--> ....... jeez, I would think that the same precautions I use in changing other drives in other laptops would scale to this scenerio. Is there something different with newer Toshiba's than the older Toshiba's ? The replacement drive I have is an industry standard IBM. ? Thanks for your email for I've yet to attempt this. There is an online site that walks you through this at http://www.bixnet.com/toshiba2.html I tried to call Toshiba yesterday for some iformation but the "Storage Device Division" was closed for the holiday. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
