[Hidden-tech] Help needed with hard drive Backup

[michaelbix]

Izzy - just as an aside, why don't you just take out the hard drive  
for the entire time the laptop is away?

They can put in a bootable drive from their own inventory while they  
do the repair.  If you're not voiding the warranty by removing the  
drive to back it up, you're not voiding the warranty by removing the  
hard drive to keep it out of the hands of people who feel they have  
to erase it as part of a repair process... right?

I'd suggest that, if you can, that you spare yourself the aggravation  
finding a temp backup.

And once your laptop is returned, you will get an external drive to  
back up to regularly, won't you?  And incidentally, an external  
powered USB case for your 2.5" drive should be readily available if  
you want to do the backup yourself, now, to any friend's computer who  
has the room to spare.
