I have a friend who converts his DD 3.5 inch disks to
HD by putting the extra hole in the disk.  He says he hasn't
had any trouble doing this, but some lab administrators here
say it shouldn't be done.

I know they even sell a tool to do this for you.

Anybody else do this and what kind of success have you had?

Any comments, opinions are welcome.

Thanks
