How so? The infections are dormant unless you run them... and if you know
the drive is infected, you should take extra precautions to avoid
accidentally running the viruses and update AV and such before starting.
Never had something or someone interrupt you & then you forgot what drive
you were on? IMHO it's too much of a risk to do on a production machine but
if it's a secondary machine that is not connected to a network then go for it.
In the old days before XpPe we had to do it that way especially if it was
NTFS. Thank God for XpPe as it's much faster & safer all the way around.
