I had to reload Windows on my desk machine. (I hate when that happens!)

It only takes me about a day but it's a PITA never-the-less.

One advantage I see in a new build is that the machine seems to boot and

I've seen this too. For that reason, I put in a new HD and start from
scratch once/year. Great winter day project. I'm curious, I don't have
media for my new W7 box, just the COA. Am I going to be able to
download W7 media when i get there?
