[QUOTE="DocWatson, post: 128529, member: 112"] What Anthony said. The strike probably only fried the motherboard &/or power supply, so the HD should be OK. Connecting it as a slave or via an external cable or enclosure will not put the other drive at risk since the charge never got to the unit and the HD wouldn't "hold" that charge even if it did. Tell your neighbor about the value of surge protectors. $10-$100 investment saves $500-$5,000 of electronics gear. [/QUOTE]
