I recently had a small problem to solve, googled and found a solution. Since the question was out of Stack websites, I thought I would post it already with an answer, and so I did it:

However I got a downvote. I can only guess, but it wasn'...
@JourneymanGeek wow, i wonder how many hours it was used after it couldnt store a single bit anymore? I have always assumed that once you tear the heads off, the platters would be raped. How to tear off all heads at once, one way that i still want to know more about is when the temperature on the drive goes below the "dew" point for the moisture in the air in the drive. The smallest ammount of condensation, and the heads get tore off?
Having done tons of "tape" which is prone to condensation in a completly different way, I still wonder why there is not a huge warning, about it for hard drives, and wonder how many have been lost.
Tape was said to "air ride" on the drum, it was also said that the tiny heads in the drum also air ride, but IMO they more like dug in. When the drum got cold, and even the tiniest fog gathered on the drum, the tape would be Grabbed by the head and spun around tearing the tape out, and making a terrible mess often including breaking the tape.
With tape machines they put in a condensation sencor (most simple wet curcuit) and the machine would disable, before you would stuff a tape in. of course this did not always work :-) but at least they had a safety contingancy.
The hard drive manuels and warnings do have a condensation warning about going from cold hot air extreemes but like the other 50 warnings :-) that everyone ignores because it doesnt usually apply. Then it is never discussed on the web or "discovered" when it may very well have happend thousands of times.
Where does it say anywhere (on the web), about how to treat a "laptop" with a hard drive when going from/to huge temperature changes. There has never been any reason for people to write it up or warn about it. Uhh hard drive die, they do that.. . . well no they really are amasingly reliable, for some people.
@JourneymanGeek gibson once admitted to setting up a deliberate disinformation campaign as part of his beliefs of keeping information away from people as much as possible, when it comes to security
his words "I set up a deliberate disinformation campaign from the beginning" !
there used to be a website, grcsucks that exposed all his rubbish claims, some is still on archive.org

This is like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy API design here. "That pitfall that you fell in has been perfectly documented in the spec for several years, if you had only bothered to check" — RetsamAug 22 '13 at 19:54
