If it doesn't fit, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacement anyway

Packard Bell have a thing called a "tattoo" which links the recovery disc to that particular hard drive. So you can't use any other recovery discs with them. If you do sell them, then they will be useless to the purchaser and that isn't fairMurphy's No More Pies Club #209

Plus most of them you can just "Reload HS" for the ones that have been made by users from the partitionIf it doesn't fit, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacement anywaySarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them

Pretty much all the s/w on eBay used to enhance the value of an item is knock-off (e.g. TomTom satnav) so I don't think your auctions will cause a problem.0
