Yeah, I'm definitely getting a new hard drive. I'm seeing if I can get a used one first though - Zozio = the thrift. Currently I'm using my 500mhz laptop.

Don't Seagates usually come with a 5 year warranty ?

Millions daily drive their cars made of 1000s of parts. We study events billions of miles away expecting laws HERE apply equally THERE. The planets, the moons etc move with such precision that we just hit a comet millions of miles away with a probe. ALL of man's technology depend on the precision and invariability of natural laws. How also explain their simplicity and their harmonious integration to form a multifaceted U

Now its time to talk to hp's support.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...asp?...N82E16822152025$69 for 250gig Im upgrading to that one. You just cant beat it for the price. I have the 160gig version now, its fast, quiet and by far the coolest running HDD Ive ever owned! Its at 24c now (75.2F) no hdd cooler and just one case fan. haha. Now course defraging or heavy hdd use raises it some but not much. Samsung is also 5 year warrenty http://www.samsungindia.com/sc...d_re...eplace_wcms.asp

Go ahead, be our guest, knock yourself out, buy one, there's no harm in having multiple drives, but you'll probably find after patting, partitioning, and formatting the existing drive that it's fine. By the way, look at Smartdrive when machine boots; Smartdrive 1 (common in at least some hp models after Smartdrive 2 took over the rest of the world) may goof, but Smartdrive 2 (if your mom has it) is good. Smartdrive must usually be enabled in bios.
