Hi,
I just purchased a new Compaq Laptop and removed the HD. I put in a faster 7200rpm plus I wanted XP pro instead of Vistard.
I installed XP pro and the OS showed up as on drive E: It showed as the C: as being removable. I then did a dban nuke and started over, this time thinking if I unplug the CMOS battery in between that should clear out any memory of the old setup. NOT! She loaded just like it did before. On E:
Let me guess, I should have pulled out the main battery too? Or is there something else I'm missing? I'm not really crazy about taking apart a new laptop if I have to dig deeper. 
Thanks,
~Tram
