    Again I seriously doubt it… And even then I would still opt for an immediate safeguarding of “all” my personal files; and make an image of the drive. Then secure/obtain a decent and reliable replacement drive. Don’t risk data loss; safeguard your files at least – now…

    Once a drive starts to cough up error messages assorted.. time to consider – seriously – replacing it.

    The longer you leave it the greater the likelihood of it crashing at a very critical moment; and possibly taking all your files with it. Don’t go down that road – safeguard data etc – and if possible make an image of the drive; then replace it.

    If you replace it whilst it’s still “working” then you can clone the drive to the new one and then install the new drive etc. Again you will likely have to re-activate your OS due to the change of hard drive; but that’s not usually an issue.

    Drive manufacturers either provide a free cloning utility with the new drive, or have it available on their website for download. Typically it’s a cut down version of Acronis.

    Internet email was never conceived of as a secure means of communication. Anyone can change the contents of a message and forward it to someone else with no way of detecting the changes. The only way to verify the message was sent would be to examine the files in the senders computer or the logs maintained by the email provider. Of course you have to access to either. See less

  6. If it's industrial grade IPA (99%), then it should completely evaporate. Consumer grade is more like 70% and has water or other fillers which may leave residue on the components/board.
