I'll echo another poster... I have the 'official' Windows 7 ISO with the 'tweak' that allows you to choose your version of the installation (home vs. pro). There are two versions, 32 or 64 bit. You need to provide your own key and a DVD and I would be happy to burn you a copy. I spent a good 3 hours removing all the HP crap from my dm3 and keep saying I need to just rebuild it from scratch, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. ---------- Todd Young ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Miller" <mbmiller+l at gmail.com> To: "TCLUG Mailing List" <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Sent: Saturday, August 14, 2010 2:29:03 AM Subject: Re: [tclug-list] good notebook for college student?

That's right -- I got to that later in the message. It makes a recovery disk and image disks. When I hosed it, I had to use them. It's there way of protecting their advertisements, I think. A recovered system still has the ads.
