[QUOTE="trenollet, post: 26861"] You shouldn't have anything to worry about even with the power on, the HD in the ibook is mounted to a metal chasis with 4 rubber shocks which help prevent damage from movement. Also most HD's made within the past few years are designed to withstand movment while in use, i.e. using it while in a car or airplane... especially the Hitachi / IBM drives which Apple uses. It is always good pracitce however to sleep the computer when transporting because you never know when or where Murphy is going to strike. When in sleep mode the heads on the HD are parked thus protecting the drive from low-level shock like carrying it around in a back-pack. When in doubt, use your best judgement. Nothing wrong with being a little cautious if it gives you peace of mind :-) [/QUOTE]
