Although we've fixed the 780 boot menu problem, Sea Monkey
and got the side bar back, and resolved the mice problems with
a new mouse for each computer and F-lock gave me back my
Function keys. The backspace problem still remains and we've
tested everything.

Since were at this point it makes since to clone the hd's so we don't
loose any of our hard work and they are about as clean as we can get
them unless you can think of something to bring back the backspace
key function.

Speaking of cloning; can you explain why you want to split the C: partition
in half and have a D: partition? I'm not understanding the reasoning behind
it?

In passing, the 8500 power on switch is acting allot better. However,
if I had a motherboard failure could I buy a new or refurbished Win 10
computer(since they don't sell any Win 7 computers anymore that I see)
and put a Win 7 hd inside? Would it work?



Thoughts/suggestions?
