If I Used A Magnetized Screwdriver On Or Near My Computer Would It Damage The Hard Drive?

A friend told me that it would destroy my hard drive if I used a magnetic screwdriver to disconnect the cables from my pc. Just wondering if this is true.

    Well once i placed a magnetic stuff near my TV screen, and it drained all the colors out of it. Hard disks are even more sensitive, so you should avoid using such tools nearby it. So i think, magnets, if strong, can really harm the electronic devices.

      Not at all! And magnets do not drain color from Mtv's. The only deflect the cathode rays. These can usually be reset by qualified engineers.
