MAGNETIC Screwdriver? Oooooops...

Friday, July 16, 2010

So last weekend I was moving my main PC's hard drives into a new case (the old processor fan died), and couldn't figure out why none of the drives would boot up when I got them installed. After an hour or two of fiddling with them over and over, I realized that my computer toolkit's screwdriver had somehow become magnetized... and my guess is that putting it up close to those magnetic hard drive platters had a, shall we say, negative effect. Hoping my MUGEN work wasn't lost, because it's been a while since I've backed anything up. :( I'll know more in a week or so, and will post here when I know the extent of the damage (if any).
