[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 666365, member: 59833"] That is EXACTLY why I made a point to state with emphasis "[I][U]secondary[/U] (NOT boot)[/I]". There is NO RISK if you install as a secondary drive. Nothing is going to run or execute from that drive if simply attached or installed as a secondary drive. Note I have a little shop and this is exactly what we do all the time. I have a [URL='https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Hot-Swap-External-Docking-Compatible/dp/B0012Z3MKW?th=1']docking station[/URL] that connects suspect drives as [U]secondary[/U] drives to my computer. I then run my scanners on it without ever exposing my computer to anything malicious. Sorry, but that is a contradictory statement. Older environments are less safe, not more safe. [/QUOTE]
