Like I said, he is so clueless about ESD, that he probably *thinks* his gear is protected while he futzes around with it.
I have been swapping hard drives, optical drives, sound cards, video cards, etc. in my PC since I bought it in '04.
I keep the dust off the blades and tines.
I use several SATA drives as backups, and archives, and they get swapped in and out ALL the time.
Never a problem from XP, through Vista, and now Windows 7.
HE is the problem, and ALL his posts he EVER made about his machines are the absolute proof.
