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 purchace price.
It sounds as if you're a candidate for it.
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
