While at Fry's, I bought a brand new 320GB hard drive, and I'm about to clone the nearly-as-shipped copy of the system that came with my laptop, then put that nearly-as-shipped copy back in the fire safe. I also plan to do the clone using the CD-ROM-based copy of the cloning software that I made long ago. I'm trying to think of anything I can that will try and keep anything that's bugging this computer that might be software based from getting on to the drive. Of course, I still have to download about a million updates after that, and then install a whole bunch of software. At least I have all of the installers. I hope.
