I bought a harddrive at Fry's. It was sealed
up in a nice anti-static bag. I installed it
in my computer and it booted Windows...

Now the question is :

was the box stating 200GB and the drive says 60GB ? :-)

Sometimes stuff at Fry's is returned by someone not knowing what they do or
by someone that couldn't afford to do what they did.

The Windows might be customers, (check for user name within) might be from
Fry's check out desk before restock.

I guess you bought a re-packaged one.
