You never turn off a PC by the switch or by unplugging it. You risk corrupting the hard drive. Which is what probably happened.\n\nYou may have no choice but to format and re-load.

No it won't hurt it. I delete mine every day and my computer goes faster.

*beating dead horse* You don't need to unplug the HD.  The only problem I can foresee is if you're upgrading from 98 to XP.  They use different allocation tables (FAT 32 vs. NTSC...? I forgot the name).  Therefore you won't be able to ACCESS the data on the slave drive.

You need to unplug the cable modem power for 30 seconds and plug it back in to let it reset after you change computers.  I just found that out from trial and error, while I was hooking up to my laptop.  On the laptop I had to restart the computer also, but on the desktop I didn't have to.  I think I am going to buy a wireless router next.

That's pretty much it. Once you're disconnected from a network, then your data can be .. safe / private / secure.\n\nBut I guess it would be easier to physically move your computer???\n\nOf course there's a down-side to NOT being on a network, -can't check out Yahoo! Answers!!!

The laptop will go into a slight 'nap' which will mean that it won't heat up because it is not really running any programs. It is like it is taking a rest from it's work. When you switch a computer off it is like a human sleeping.\n\nHope this Helps

Umm, just taking a stab here, but..Dont drop it?\n\nSeriously, I try not to move my laptops, or set them down hard while they are running.  Doing so could cause the hard drive's read/write head to scrape across the surface of the disk and render it unusable. \nI watch people all the time walking around with their laptops on and then slam them down on a desk to do something else. Not good at all.

Never even heard of a device like that from bellsouth. I can't even find a google reference to something like that.\n\nYou could just unplug the computer and hide the power cable. Or just tell him to stay off of it. If he won't do what you say then unplug the computer and wack him with the power cable across his head.\n\nOccam's Razor will win out on this one.
