Your hard drive will definitely never get a virus after this!
Anyways, due to the sudden death of a supernova, this trick will not work any more

Did you remember to cut away the parts sticking out?

Actually I never thought it'd be so hard.
About the disks sticking out: I chopped them off too. On first boot after that defrag, I thought 'Wow my Barracuda has become so quiet!' But then a weird electro burn smell reached my nose. I switched off the machine immediately and found a screw in one of the blades which was sticking out on the back. Took out the drive carefully -geez have I must admit Windoze Defrag does not stress me that much- and chopped off the part as described on the page.
Now the smell is gone, but the pc won't boot. My drive name on BIOS run-up has turned Chinese. I think there's some static left on the drive, I'm going to clean it again. Initially I used Glass-ex, as a replacement for the cleanser used in Sweden, could not find the Swedish product in our local supermarkets. So next I'm gonna try these cloth we use to clean cockpit instruments. They are anti-static too, and have proven reliable.
Looking forward to do benchmarks on th edrive once I've removed the last static from the disks.

after such treatment you can ghost the disk with a simple satanic invocation and get a very light ectoplasmatic backup.

ajax is ok but don't go more than 40°, or hd will shrink from 60GB to 40....

Truly I had decided myself that it so cool that parts away the disks...
I ask myself... Why all the drives has to be with only square-forms?
If you think its really necessary that to be done, I´ll cut them anyway...
But I really like them...

This is great!
With this technique, we can finaly clean all that unwanted, dirty background noise from our digital tracks. Who needs expensive plug-ins and high end audio equipment anyway?
This is guaranteed to take care of all your digital problems!

I'm going to start calling my PC a "data machine" and the hard drive a "mother-disk" and see if anyone notices

Do you think some good olive oil could help reduce the noise from my old IBM? - maybe, if I dipped the whole thing, so nothing gets left behind? Hmm, foods brings good ideas... Maybe add some chili to spice up some dull old tracks - but not so much, that it gets too hot and overloads [:/]

the noise remains but oil is very good for fat sounds, and red peppers will do it with a nice soft tape compression, you can put as much as you want and never loose headroom. aware of black pepper that
brings distortion and butter or animal fat that obstructs the asio drivers, expecially in aged systems.
