I can tell that it is rare to overwrite or corrupt hard drive using
limited access account on Windows NT and Linux. Hardware failure can occur
to bypass low level to overwrite sector by sector when there is nothing the
security with restriction access can stop it.
Write smaller code to develop software instead of larger code may be
very stable.
