There are a lot of stores which have very liberal return policies.  I
can't imagine a store not repackaging returned products and reselling
them as new.  If they do, then someone else may have infected the disk
and then returned it.  The reselling of used hardware as new is, I
believe, a widespread practice.  In fact, I expect to see a whole slew
of lawsuits concerning this matter.
