Dear computer techs.
When you pull a hard drive from a computer, plug it into a Windows box and have it come up with an icon that says, "Empty Drive", do NOT tell the customer the drive is empty. Please look at the partition tables and verify the SMART status.
I'm so over of giving customers the "This is like someone telling you the record they borrowed no longer has grooves" (Mainly because a lot of people now have never SEEN a record). I'm also over calling you guys afterwards and ferreting information.
Thank You
