    I recently upgraded my OEM HD to a more efficient 7200 rpm model. However, I neglected to realized my backup didn't have my renewed security suite on it. What is the best way to remedy this? I don't want to have to pay Norton again? What do you do when your HD malfunctions?

    You simply download the Norton version you were using from the Symantec site; NIS2010.
    Install it on your new HDD and enter your subscription/license key.
    The license isn't tied to your old HDD.
