In 2017, a client’s HDD failed while I was formatting his machine. I had noticed before his disk drive was a Bluray writer with a 200GB Panasonic Bluray RW disk.
Windows somehow accepted to format into the disk. He was to give me a flash drive but since this experiment worked, he would call me when he would be available to bring a HDD. We met last year and the guy was still using the mechine the way I left it.
