Re: Not work but...
Not all laptops have easily accessible hard drives, even these days. :/
Exactly. The in-laws gave my wife their old laptop, and I would have just pulled their HDD and put in a fresh one to to a clean install, except Dell decided to insert it into a wormhole somewhere in the bowels of the machine. Decided it was quicker to rsync the entire drive to a USB external (even at USB 2.0 speed) than to try to dismantle the sucker.
