How about appealing to HP’s better nature?

Subject: [access-uk] hard drive crash help please
Hi all
I was hoping someone could try to help me out here.
I have a HP Compaq Pavilion dv1000 (1665 eu) entertainment
notebook. Last Satureday, the laptop died on me. I didn't
look for the garentee until the next
day, Sunday, only to find out that it ran out the day
before!!! I was gutted.
The pc won't boot up to the windows screen, instead it just
just keeps rebooting. It won't boot up in safe mode, and
when I tried to reinstall xp, using
a cd, it got so far then came up with a message saying
something like, it couldn't find a hard drive to install the
oporating system to.
I don't know whether my hard drive is dead, or perhaps
whether the file alocation table has become corrupt.
I have a couple of questions.
can I somehow connect my lap top to another pc, to try to
use a file recovery programme that I have, and if so, what
sort of lead can I use. Can you get
a USB to USB lead?
Any ideas where I could get a replacement drive from at a
sensible price?
Any help appreciated.
Terry
