• 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. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    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.

If I have 2 drives. 1 sata and 1 ide. I unplug the power and power only to the ide drive and let the pc boot off the sata drive. Once in windows I plug the power back into the ide drive is this going to cause data loss or destroy the drive?

TIA
 
Well first of all, why would you want to do that?

And second, IDE drives don't support powering on like that. In addition, many motherboards don't like having the IDE connector connected to an unpowered drive. Most of the time they won't boot like that.
