I have been told that although there is no problem with either standing 
on end or running in a conventional position, You should backup the 
drive before changing .he orientation and low level format after the 
change. After low level format reinstall your software. This is due 
to possibility (primarily on older machines of stepper band HDs which 
will not track quite identically and may foul up disk format). Either 
position is fine, just be careful when changing. I have never done 
this switch myself so this is not the voice of experience. Just repeating 
what I have heard, and it sounds reasonable.
