Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here.

Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Doing an install repair looks to me to be the best way to avoid reformatting when you have to move your boot HD from a non working MB to a new system.
When you do the install - repair the drivers are set to default and the HD should boot.
If you are just moving the HD because you "feel the...
