Yea, I am not sure what would happen at that point. If I could get it to boot anything, I would just write zeros to the hard drive. I am irritated, and just want to take it back. However, it seems that most of the mom and pop computer stores have gone away. I guess I have to make a special trip to fry's and waste a lot of money. Too bad I have to get this done this weekend or I would just by something online.
