Local prep note: if a drive is dead or you need files back before a wipe, plan that step before event day — see the laptop wipe guide and old hard drives guide for the free DIY route first. Starbase Computer (South Pasadena) — this guide's publisher — is a local option if you need data recovery or verified destruction instead.
