"Hi, I have a broken disk drive, and want a replacement"
"OK. Click on my computer/properties"
"It's a linux box. It's says 'Disk read failed, on block blah"
"Oh. Hold on.....can you install Windows on the machine, to verify the
disk is broken ?"
"No. The disk is broken. I can't install Windows on it"
"Oh. OK. I'll organise a replacement".
