Remove the new drive first... just incase.
If the bios is expecting a particular type of drive and it's not there, it could create a problem...
Just being cautious... after all, you would not put the new ram in that is unsupported on the current bios version until AFTER you flash the bios....
You quoted me... so you have the answer I gave. If that's not clear to you, then perhaps a definition of cautious would help?
from hereQuote:
Cau´tious
a. 1. Attentive to examine probable effects and consequences of acts with a view to avoid danger or misfortune; prudent; circumspect; wary; watchful; as, a cautious general
No it won't hurt the drive... read my post again. It might be expecting a particular drive, so for the wrong drive to be there might cause a problem, maybe it would cause the flash to fail. I don't know whether it will or not, so I don't want to take the chance.
I refer you to the word "cautious" again.
