Option B, the voided warranty? That's the least of my worries. I'd be more concerned about Option C and keeping my job after this forensic fiasco.

Hah, Option A is a classic. Overwriting the data partition? That's like setting the house on fire before the investigators show up!

I think Option D is the real problem. Traces of the root could compromise the integrity of the evidence, making it unusable in court.
