I too bought my wife a $200 netbook with XP I warned her not to put anything of any value on it. We have had to scrape and re-install the op/sys three times this last year despite using MacAfee. She loves it as it is pretty and pink. Now she is looking at an iPad.

What was your wife doing to the laptop? My wife's hard drive has been through 3 Dell Latitude Laptops over years. The last time I reloaded the hard drive was when they switch the interface from IDE to SATA and I was forced to migrate.
