I meant to do it on da1 but my twiddle fingers typed 0 instead of 1. I rebooted the box thinking I'd have to reinstall (luckily my user data is on a different drive), but the box came back up fine ... I was shocked. Can I continue to use it? Did I just not mess anything up some how? Or have I messed something up secretly and even though the box runs fine a reinstall should still occur? Thanks! -Matt
