Best Buy had a Seagate 120gig , 7200 RPM HD for $99 (After rebate).
Seagate drives come with a CD that you can boot from that will step you
through the whole format, master/slave, copy process. The hardest part of
the installation is getting the jumpers on/off with my big fat fingers.
Simplest drive replacement I have ever done.

If it saves your drive and adds life to it, then it's worth the

Very possibly, I have nearly 361000 bad sectors at last check.
It was about half that a few months ago, then all of a sudden, about 3
months ago, I ran Scandisc (usually every sunday after I get off line, along
with AVG and Defrag) and I had double the amount bad.

For the $89 price of Spinrite you can buy a 60gig Maxtor or if you prefer
Hitachi has an 80gig. XXCopy will clone your current drive to a new one for
free.
Would somebody be so kind as to explain why anyone would even consider
buying Spinrite to repair a drive that hasn't failed yet instead of
replacing the failing drive with a new one and still having pocket change
when finished ????????
