Or rather, go out and buy a new hard disk. And learn how to (physically) rebuild
a PC.
If you put a new hard drive in, you'll be able to do a clean doze install
without wiping the old one. It'll just be a right royal pain in the neck, and if
it triggers a "you need to revalidate your windoze", or your recovery
medium won't restore on the new disk, it'll turn into a major pain-in-the-neck
saga, but it won't be fatal to your data.
Cheers

...the fact remains that you can turn it off. If that's ever made more than a
simple toggle at boot then yeah that's a serious problem and MS need to be
beaten with the antitrust stick, but now you're complaining about something that
hasn't - and won't - happen.
As an example of why not, dell uses linux cds to generate windows install
scripts and load RAID drivers - it'd actually be very hard to reinstall windows
on various dell servers without this.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
