Yo people, im having major problems with my home pc, i need a new hard drive as my current one has crashed and is having problems reading any info off it, so i have stuck in a 4 gig one i found in a drawer from years back, just wanna know is there anything i can do to fix my damaged one (i have formatted it but to no avail)
anyone got any ideas?
Anyone got an old one they dont want that they will be willing to sell?
Help people.

What is the problem with it? Have you tried partitioning it again along with the reformat? I gave a 12GB HDD away last week, shame yours didnt fuck up sooner in a way! http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd3N1YmNhdGVnb3J5X3NlYXJjaA==&cat_uid=4 isa good site if you need a new HDD.

Hard drives are usually tricky to fix, and for the cost of them i'd just get a new one

yeah sounds like it is. You cant even get a single spec of dust inside the unit, so they arent really worth repairing. If there is anything really important on it, i think there are data recovery services avaiable, but obviously its gonna cost ya. You can get a 120GB HDD for about £75 now, so not too ££££.

£75 thats still a lot of money for me at the moment, guess im just gonna have to wait till next year. the drive is about 5 years old, its only a 17.5 gig but i was just pissed cos it had loads of pics of my two mates who died last year. my fault really i shoulda saved them to cd.
