Moving pc's

I have to move some PC's from one office to the other, what is the best way
to park the hard drives?

Thank you,

You must disengage the drive gear. If they are newer drives that are
automatic, you just have to find the selector on the drive and move it to P.
Older drives have a manual setting that have to be changed to N or neutral.

If you can't find it, grind it

Right. On the manual ones, don't forget to set the brake!

I find the most difficult issue is the parallel parking of Hard Drives.
and always remember to use the emrgency brake when parking the drive on
an incline....

The transmission is indeed the best brake. But it never hurts to have the
parking brake on.

If they don't have the newer auto selector, I found that just attaching a
large magnet to the side of the drive will usually stop it from slopping
around. If that doesn't work, you can always drill a hole through the
platters, and secure them in place with a bicycle lock.

My drive doesn't have a P or N. It only has M, CS, and S. Now obviously the
M stands for manual but what do the other ones stand for?

Ah, yours would be a British drive. S is for Start and CS for Canadian
Start -- for cold-weather operation.

Oh, that's what I thought but I didn't want to sound stupid by mentioning
it.
