My point is that if merely turning a computer off can trigger the issue
then "Won't Happen" is not necessarily true. "Should not happen" maybe,
of course it should not.
The OP may unintentionally make a change that "Could" trigger it. I use
removable drive trays and placing a drive in the wrong tray can set it off.
I am not complaining, merely saying that it can happen and therefore
comes as a surprize when really nothing has changed. |
