Update on my hosed machine
Authored by: tomhayes on Oct 21, '11 10:34:57AM

I have an OCZ SDD Vertex (1.3 firmware) in it and the disk became corrupt upon restart after issuing that NVRAM command.

It could be a COMPLETE coincidence , or the command might have corrupt the HD.

I had to reinstall Lion to an external drive, grab my files from the SSD (which I could read from, but not write to or repair in disk until) and then reinstall on the SSD.

I'm hesitant to try this again.

Does anyone think it was just bad luck? (I copied and pasted the command from here - so I didn't type it in wrong.)
