Hello,

How do you know the hard drive has crashed? We may be able to help you fix the problem with it without you purchasing a new drive and having to go through the process of sorting out the new drive.

I had this happen to me just monday my 160gb Western Digital crashed.when it is none read able then you will now it has crashed.Best idea is to go to the site of the ppl that made the drive and check and see if it still has warrenty on it they should replace it for free.

if yours is still read able then you should save all of the files you can to a disk or a flash drive it will crash if it has dont it once than it will do it again.try and go to seagate.com and look and see if you still have warrenty on it they should replace it for free.

hope this helps

Well as it would have it we back up all important stuff about once a week or so and I did it just 2 days before so we lost nothing on this pc we have 4 in the house and this one is my wifes so I would like to get it flying and get her off my lap top


Real question is could I just install a 160 gb hd and run my restore disk and be done with it

 

Hi Old,

It doesn't have to be the same size or make, just the right type, IDE or SATA. It should be big enough to suit the type of work you will do with it.

 

Thanks for the reply a 320 or 500 would be a big help I may just pick a 500 up and install it, it’s a sata the pc was bought in 04 and has been problem free since then when I bought it I filled it with memory and use it I hate to lose a good pc this is good news
