Do I understand you correctly? Are you saying there are potential
problems with a "dangerously dedicated" HDD on a PC?
I don't use Micros~1 products on any of my machines (acutally, I use
nothing but FreeBSD) so I've assumed that there's no reason to do
anything other than "dangerously dedicated". Am I wrong is thinking
that??
Is this one of those issues where "if it boots, it'll be fine" or is
it something that could bite me later??
