A few years ago, when I still shared a computer with my brother, I wanted to install Mandrake Linux 7. I took the hard drive from the ancient 3.1 machine (75 MHz Pentium Original!). When this drive was in, the BIOS would not see the other one whether it was Master, Slave, or Cable Select. I decide that I'll just deal with it the way it is, and try and get both drives to function together later. I reformat the drive...MISTAKE! Because the BIOS didn't know there were two drives on the IDE channel, it must have sent the signal through the whole cable, instead of specifying the signals to one drive. The machine's main drive...reformatted...all data lost...gone forever. You can imagine he was not very pleased with me...:laughing:
Recently, I dropped a metal paperclip into an open case...it shorted the sound card before I realized I had even dropped it.
