Do you have a geeky friend who always seems to have the cover off his
computer?
Really, truly, and honestly, this is about a 2 minute affair to prepare
a disk for use in RTV. A decent geeky kinda guy would do it for the

These guys are expensive:

but hey, they do the two minute thing for you AND warranty the drive.
A hard drive is $50. Beer and pizza, $30. Or those guys, $190.
