Oh, thanks.

Would "safe mode" work? I think that's the mode that doesn't allow writing to the hard disk, but I'm not sure. And then I don't know how to use it. What is it?
I have a Windows computer, so don't worry about Windows testing. (Windows XP and Ubuntu, Intel Core 2 Quad 2.33 GHz, nice PC :D)

No, there's no "safe mode" on Linux/Mac OS X. And, the safe mode on Windows still lets you write to the HDD - all it does is disable nearly all the drivers, and disable services. Due to that, it's usually used a lot to remove viruses and spyware.

My program will probably never even touch your internal HDD, if ever. Creating a tray icon and little balloon popups doesn't have to do with the HDD I hope... :P

Just don't mount the HDD (aka don't click on it!). If it IS mounted, unmount it. To check, just right click it, and see if there's a Mount or Unmount option. If there's Mount, you're good to go. If there's Unmount, click that, wait, and you're ready. Better yet, if there is an eject symbol, click it! If there isn't, it's not mounted.

If you're paranoid, you can always run:
Code: [Select]
sudo rm /dev/[HDD]This will remove the reference to the HDD itself, which are created at boot time, and also when things are plugged in. (USB flash drives, webcams, etc.) This does NOT delete the HDD, mind you. (I've done this myself during a USB HDD install, and it doesn't hurt a bit.)

If you're extremely paranoid, you're welcome to pull off the SATA/IDE cable from the internal HDD yourself. :P

Excellent. But harddrive removal is scary to me. Do I have to remove the internal hard drive?

Why would you need to remove the hard drive? O.o

Do you need to do that when installing stuff on Mac?

If so, then the alternate solution would be to switch to Linux or Windows as soon as you can x.x.


EDIT: nvm, I just saw it was in reply to Alberthrocks.

Lol, that was probably due to unrelated paranoia on my part.

Yeah, it uses Linq, which requires .NET 4.0.  Does Mono support this high yet?

Nope.  I hope that it is really useful, because I'm not adding more to it at this point.

I think it is fine as it is, now, although I thought you were doing a Cemetech one, too?
