I've heard of it, although never experienced it.  Although apparently it
doesn't cause permanent damage (obviously, since HDs are usually designed
to be mounted either way), it can cause read errors or can
apparently prevent reading of the disk altogether. I suppose it sort of
makes sense when you consider what precise devices they are.

But I can't see that it would hurt to at least *try*.
