[Putting HD's on their sides]

There is no problem in using a HD standing on its side.  The key thing is
to format your disk in the orientation it is going to be used in.  From
the original posting, it sounds like the user had been using his disk
in horiz. orient., and then switched to vertical.  Not a good idea, unless
you re-format.

Witness all the Sun machines with shoeboxes in vertical orientation.  I have
been using my PC with vertical orientation for over 15 months without
a problem.
