HI,
Actually the file, when run, relies on what the BIOS will recognize, as will
any tool that works with partitions. The poster mentions both a USB drive
and an IDE driver, so I'm sure it will work for the latter, and quite
possibly the former. I don't see where it can damage anything any further,
as that has already been done.
