Erwin,

>> There is also a rule that says that you need to format the drive in the
position you gonna use it. Some pc the disk is verticaly mounted some
horizontaly. If you change the orientation this could lead to troubles.
A reformat is advised. Nobody does it, but that something else... <<

I remember that precaution, but I thought that that was only applicable to
the old drives that had landing zones on them.

If architects built buildings the way programmers built applications, the
first woodpecker to come along would cause the end of civilization.
