The particular instance I used this in was the last time Norco flooded out...like last year, or the year prior, and a guy left his laptop in the trunk of his car, which got flooded. Granted, it was a long-term flood like that of Katrina, but it was definitely still wet by the time I got to it.
The process worked for me...after allowing ample time to dry out. > >------------------------------ > >Message: 10 >Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 19:07:13 -0500 >From: John Hebert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Hard disk recovery >To: [email protected] >Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > >Good idea.
