One small word of warning to anyone who does this.. It works, but don't keep anything on the disk you wish to save.

From what I understand, doing this screws with the disks magnetic field (or some such thing) that causes it to degrade much faster.


I've been doing this for a while and had no problems with it.

IMO changing HD's into DD's is ok as the HD's are made to withstand a larger magnetic field than DD's.  Changing DD's into HD's would be a disaster - you'd get only a few reads/writes on them before they died.

If you are still unsure keep a copy of those ADF's on the PC (or wherever) ;-)
