Hard drive question

[Rands]

If I uplug my SATA hd from my work computer & take it home, when I plug it in my home PC, will it prompt to format?

TIA

Nope..

It'll just format it automatically....

[ToxicBunny]

Of course it will format ffs..

Are you trying to be malicious and make oke lose all his data?!?!?!

This thread is going down-hill fast It will not format....

btw hardrives dont just delete themselves when they feel like it

if sata hardrive using fat32 or ntfs doesnt matter really if it did portable hardrives and flashdisks would be wiped everytime

so no it wont be formatted

Please note that you can remove you HDD from your work pc and install at your home pc , but the chances of it booting up at home is very slim as you might have a different motherboard and different chipset to that at work , if they are two identical PC’s you won’t have a problem at all.

You can however use it as a Slave drive with no issues , my suggestion to you is get yourself two removable HDD kits and slot the drive in any PC you want
To set this up you need someone who knows how to do it

Yussie... there are alot of evil people here.....

I'm shocked and horrified at ALL of you.

Portable USB drives are seen differently by Windows and it doesn't format them.. but SATA drives windows will format when you plug them in.. MS did that to make life easier, and to make it so you never had to go into the Device Management window...

Holy cow .. thats gotta be the biggest load of horse manure Ive ever heard ... I have about 5 pc's that utilize multiple different SATA drives and I switch them often, and NEVER has windows tried to format any of them ...

 

[ToxicBunny]

Another evil person....

I knew that people in this country didn't care about others... but you're all just showing me that you will go out of your way to make someone lose important data....

I'm disappointed to say the least
