- This will cost about £30 for the software and 1hr of labour.
- Once the operating system is reloaded, you will be able to reload your map data from the DVDs you already have.
The earliest I can get this done is towards the end of Jun and I shall repot back then. Any suggestions welcome in the meantime.

Wow! That's great news!
Make sure they offer a refund if it doesn't work.
The "free option" is to get a byte-by-byte image of a working drive and image your blank HDD with it.
You'd be doing a great service if you took an image of your freshly restored drive after the dealer visit!
