Well I think its alright to reboot while your light is on, BUT (This is
important), don't reboot when the head is reading or writing. I have rebooted
a disk that was spinning and the light was on, and it still work A O.K.
Just listen to you disk drive for any action or a repeating pattern and at
the right time ,POW, reboot the system.
At least its better to try this way then really trashing a disk.
