Satellite P105-S6187, model number PSPAAU-01L00S. I just ordered new memory for it yesterday. At the moment one memory card is sitting on top of it with the cover removed. I'll be putting it back together in a moment. It was factory preloaded with Windows Vistsa.

I still think the best answer is to disconnect the external drives, use 
the Debian Installer rescue shell to zero-fill the internal drive, and 
install Debian on the internal drive.
