You should be able to just use the recovery disc.

example:
"My computer gets pop-ups".

$25 drop off fee.
$50 service fee.
+ tax

What do you get for your $75? They install the freeware version of Ad-Aware, run it, clean you out, then uninstall it, so that you have to go back again later.

"I need to backup some data temporarily (for a reinstall, etc)"

Fees range from $1-$5 per gigabyte, +$5-$10 per DVD, plus of course the $25 drop off fee. I personally have almost 300 gb of data...

WHAT A BARGAIN.

Not.

Actually the Geek squad sucks! Bunch of third rate college drop-outs if you ask me! My 7 year old son could do better pc work with his dingy! If you have a second PC, why didn't you just hook up the new drive as a slave and transfer all the files from the old HDD to the new HDD?

The new HDD Is In My Nootbook Not My Desktop. The Only Reason I Took It To The Geeks Is Because It Was Acking Like It Was A Loose Cable Or Something I Wood Have To Open It Up And Void The Warranty.
