For once toddy is completely right and was able to speak nicely until you reached the exhaustion of any men's patience. You shouldn't do that in first place, but if you are determined to break the rules, you should only do it if you have the expertise to breach the security and retrieve it once you give the laptop back, which apparently you don't.

If you still want to break the rules and are willing to spend some money :

- Make a backup of all drivers just in case you can't get them from the internet later.
- Get a screwdriver and unplug the hard drive from the computer. Keep it in a safe place, inside a sealed plastic bag.
- Buy a new hard drive. Watch out for its size and interface. They are not the same size as conventional hard drives, normally they are 2.5". Also look out if they are SATA or IDE hard drives.
- Install Windows and the drivers.
- Once you're done with school, put the old hard drive back.

I will not be held responsible for this and I really think you shouldn't do it, but since it's my opinion that freedom of choice should be given to all of us, choose what's best for you. Remember, everything as consequences.
