Either way, if there is no way to rescue the proprietary "rescue
partition" and get the images off before you wipe and instal SUSE, all
you **need** is the product key from the sticker on the laptop.
Getting an XP install CD is the easy part.

I actually use XP sometimes, too. I also installed Vista so I could be
familiar with it if I ever needed to work on a client's PC.

So I grok. Really.
