[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1435359, member: 38864"] Glad it went well! As for your HDD... I don't know that simply unplugging it will do the trick. There is a way to force a volume to not mount automatically on startup. There probably is a terminal method, but this can be done using [URL="http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerToolSys2.html"]TinkerTool System[/URL] (not to be confused with plain TinkerTool). You go to the [I]System[/I] panel, select [I]Volumes[/I], then add that drive's volume to the [I]Exclude[/I] section. Of course you could simply swap the drive out for a quieter one. Bear in mind my comment earlier about the cable that is specific to the manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
