Look Before Leaping ... and Formatting Hard Drives
Wed, Feb 4th, 2009 |
In the immortal words (to a golf fan, anyway) of Roberto de Vicenzo, "What a stupid I am to be wrong here!" In my case, the 'stupid' doesn't apply to anything nearly as monumental as losing one of golf's major championships by signing an incorrect scorecard. Instead, my 'stupid' relates to hard drives, and the mistakes one can make when working with them. What follows is nothing more than a tale of woe to hopefully impress on all of us, myself included most definitely, of the need to look that one last time before we take the leap.
