Nice trick. Sorry about the drive. Buy him a 64 GB SSD. Do not buy a consumer grade hard drive now. There is still a shortage, they are too expensive, and the distributors that supply NewEgg etc are getting the bottom of the barrel drives - the ones made in temporary facilities with machines that divers salvaged from the flooded industrial parks in Thailand and component suppliers that haven't been fully qualified. The ones that probably aren't going to last. The ones that Dell and HP won't accept.

I got to the bios screen, I forced it to ask me for help by removing a ram chip. We used to do that when a certain weapon system would freeze us out. I also verified the cd is bootable by trying it in this computer. I will post updates soon.
