Spend the money to buy hardware necessary for removeable hard drives. Maybe spend the money for a second hard drive tooo which is mounted with the rails and install speakup on both. If your first hard drive gets taken down, and you've backed up all your important data elsewhere all you need do is slip the first hard drive out and slip in a second hard drive and do the work on the messed up hard drive on an offline computer to clean up whatever garbage hackers may have left and do a fresh install of speakup on the second hard drive and keep that as your backup for future hacker disasters.
