The only reason I'm reluctant to do a full wipe of that laptop is that it was my Dad's, the one he was using during his transplant last year. I keep expecting to stumble upon one last document, or an email, or something that will give me two more minutes of his time...

We do have a doubly-redundant full bare-metal backup of the laptop, so I know I'm being silly. The other option would be to buy a $70 hdd and cache the old one (as SD suggests).
