For the last time, the internal hard drive will not be erased. Windows will stay on it. It will not be used for Linux. It is a really old hard drive that could fail at any moment. Linux has been and will remain installed on the external 4 TB hard drive.

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.
