     I will give that a try.  

     Where would I find the key?  If I can locate that, then maybe I can create 
a new Win7 HD with one of those recovery disks from eBay that kave no key.

     The OEM drivers are not a problem.  I purchased a full driver disk for 
this laptop a couple of years ago from an eBay seller in Harrisburg who 
specialises in such things.

     I don't keep data on hard drives any more, just applications.  All data is 
kept on a 16G thumb drive.

     After what I saw them do to the wifi at a local coffee shop, I want to 
avoid 19CL for any internet service.  I've had Earthlink for many years now, 
and except for the occasional equipment failures they've been fine.
