Flag danger from same hard drive across NANDS?

This is a really nooby question but something that I haven't had to deal with before. I still have yet to really use my RGH with my DemoN installed because of a project I am working on, but I have booted it a few times. The console was acting weird before, having the fan rev up to max, and giving me E79s on some boots, so I redid all the soldering (before I had done it with a pretty dirty tip and was without tip cleaner) after cleaning the tip and now it is nice and clean and the console works perfectly. Problem is that when I went to test that the retail side booted I accidentally left my RGH hard drive in.

Now, the hard drive is 1TB so it is not like the retail side could even recognize it, but I don't know, maybe it can still read it to flag your console and just doesn't show it under memory because its the console knows its modded. Or can the retail side not see it 100% at all?

In either case, I have yet to connect to LIVE with the retail side so if there is a danger that my console was flagged I can still unflag it. Should I be worried about this?

EDIT:

I just found Martin C's new unflagging guide, so is it safe to assume that if I just make a new retail image in J-Runner I that will unflag me if I have been flagged?

retail nand will not detect your 1TB HDD. I have a 4GB console with 1TB HDD. I keep all of my profiles and save game in 4GB Memory. so when I start with Demon mode It's shows my 4GB Memory and 1TB HDD. in retail mode only 4GB. its working great.

OK thanks I am probably fine then. I knew it couldn't recognize the partition size but thought that perhaps it could recognize that there was a hard drive with an invalid partition size (and lack of hdss.bin) and then consider that enough for a flag. Like you said though it probably cannot detect it at all.
