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 
????????
