Hard errors?
Andy–
Since I sorta started this long thread, I would like to return to my
original question: what are the reasons why it is possible to eject a disk
while it is being written to? It would seem to me that if we do a
cost/benefit analysis, far more data is lost from folks ejecting disks
accidentally than from their not being able to abort disk initializations.
Is it the cost of implementing this protection in the hardware or software
considerations that make the current situation. I absolutely do not buy the
"multitasking" argument as a reason for allowing a disk to be written to and
ejected at the same nanosecond.
