I have been using it on non-whitelisted machines for a while, some quite aggressively to test regressions (setting device thresholds < 2min). However, i have not tried it on a disk with a Windows partition, so there _could_ be issues as this configuration probably hasn't been tested much. However, for my configurations, I havn't seen an issue (except that some of the spin-up delays are more than I would like to see, but within "normal" limits). I suggest trying and posting your results. ---- Randy
