Hmmm. At least here in Europe, harddrives are sold in antistatic bags and
that's all you get ... the drive overlay software is a thing of the past,
with XP and linux, and for imaging you can buy Ghost or use a free one (and
guess, ghost/drive image bootcds are easy to "image" as well).

Happy New Year :)
