Did a Fedora install on a windows 7 hdd that I didn't want to do it on. That's what happens when you are over tired and in a hurry. SOOOOOOO PISSSSEEEDDDDD OFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!
CF-29ET, CF-28ST, CF-30G , CF-M34, CF-19Ch, CF-19FH, CF-19CD, CF-73 mk1, CF-74K & H, CF-51RCB, CF-51RCL, CF-52CC .

As long as the deal is good for you it is good for me.

Masking tape on the drive.. magic marker identifying the drive. You can still read it through the windows in the caddy

I know man. I had to learn to double and triple check everything I do that could be potentially dangerous, like cloning drives, erasing directory trees or putting a rifle away for storage. I literally have to sit down and breathe while looking over what I am doing before issuing the final command, sometimes more than once.
Daily drives a CF-31
