I know that software can crash and burn hardware. We had it in our electronics in some of our aircraft in the Navy. But of course, my puter isn't a government weapon. The term crash, as in crash my hard drive, is probably misused. It could destroy all or part of the data, rendering the entire computer useless, but that wouldn't physically damage the hardware. A crash by any other name is still in the mind of the user. ;-)

- ". . . but I have seen hard drive's crashed from viruses."
- Excuse my ignorance. I've always been under the impression that software could not "crash a hardrive." And viruses are sortware, right?
- Crash a system? Absolutely. Crash hardware? I don't know. Have I been misinformed?
- Thanks
