I have an odd query. When I use Disk Utility to erase the contents of a CD-RW (OsX 10.3.9) I undergo a terrifying 'What would happen if I accidentally selected my HD instead of the CD-RW' bout of vertigo-like anxiety.
I find myself double-treble-quadruple-checking that I have absotively posilutely chosen the correct volume. And then just once more.
My nerves are not helped by the fact that, if you highlight Macintosh HD volume, the Erase button doesn't go away!!
I know Disk Utility can't erase the volume it sits on, but could I still click Erase by mistake? How far would I get? Are there checks and balances for this? I can't bring myself to try.
Am I alone in my crippling anxiety? Should I see a shrink? Argh, the horror, the horror!
