Title: HD / Lap top V\'s Airport XRAY Machine ?
Post by: wizard2010 on September 27, 2001, 11:09:40 AM

In the past if i have take a HD through a Airoprt Security machines, the XRAY machine.

Can this cause problems to a Hard drive ?
And would it cause problems to a Laptop?

After a recent trip abroad and back with in 2 days of my
return my Removable Drive Crashed big time.

Every scan disk recorded new Errors, so it was replaced under
warranty.

Is it just a coinsedence or true ?

Just zeros & ones ???

I believe it can, yes.  Try to have them inspect it manually next  time.  Also make sure it is charged up, a non-booting PC may look suspicious.
