hey ryan? seems your methed of cleaning the drive does not work good at all or i did somthing wrong ...

here is how i followed your instructions

1)i removed the case ok using a hammer and other tools you said and your right i did stripp every single screw and im now blind in 1 eye? damn sparks

2)i ran to the hospital and got a really sharp knife ... you know the ones the doctors use right? ... nothing but the best for my hard drive hehe
well my hand isnt that steady so well cutting the partitions i cut myself a few times ... lil blood on the drive ... think i can email it to blood drive banks?

3)well i had trouble getting vim but i did and im now 99.9% virus free

and i did the WD40

4) i loved the mod idea so i left the case off

now heres where it all went wrong

1) my cats keep sleeping in the computer and theres alot of hair in there now

2) i think i put to much WD40 in the wrong place and every time i turn on my computer i have to play 1306950 file pickup FILES GO EVERYWHERE (52 pickup with cards is fun compaired to 1306950 pickup with files)

3) umm is my computer supposed to smoke? i dont think my cat is supposed to smoke but well it was sleeping in the computer both started making funny noises and smokin? oh and i have no more power at my house cuz of it

oh and a question? whats the saw for ... mabey i needed to use it to get the job done right

next time you can clean my computer and your paying for the repairs cuz it was your instructions bud

Hmmm, probably a bit too much wd-40. First time I tried it on a server, same thing happpened. Thankfully everything was archived in zip files, so it was easier to find after the disaster.
