Keith, For what it's worth, my Dell Latitude has had 2 in-office, warranty service calls and the tech could not care less that I had linux installed. When he needed root access I gave him a root v.t. Perhaps it depends on what's needed, the brand, and whether it's a 'consumer' or 'business' model. Regardless, installing a replacement drive is an excellent idea. That's what I'll do the next time I buy a new portable ... if I remember. :-) Rich -- Richard B. Shepard, Ph.D. | Have knowledge, will travel.
