Going cheap: broken HDD

Our HDD died on my yesterday. Rather than buying a new drive or a new computer, I decided to reuse a HDD from another computer which I had taken out but not put back [since we're in between moves]. At least I got the computer up and running with latest patches [yes I use Windows] and virus protection by the end of today. And to think I just setup this computer [which was used exclusively by my eldest son] with my wife's data just because we put her computer in storage [in between our move].

In case you've noticed, we do have many computers...
