notebook drive uses torx screws

[divxdude]

anyone know what size torx that is and/or where to get them cheap?
Fastenal is around the corner from me but they have to order the #6 and #7 size and there
are like $12 for a little bit that costs $2 in larger sizes.

i found some at autozone. can't be sure on the size you need... they have sets and single bits. not too cheap though

What kind?
Toshiba - hold the Esc key while booting
HP/Compaq - F10 key
most others - Del key

Compaq used to have the BIOS utility on the HD.
