Solve : Bad Sectors??????

1.	Solve : Bad Sectors??????
Answer» I have a IBM t-40 with a 40 gig hd and i am having prblems with it STAYING on i have tried reinstalling win xp pro and NOTHING. i have tried fprot nothing and a BUNCH of other things. When I run the IBM Diagnositcs it gives me several ECC errors in the HD as well as BAD address marks.... I am wondering if all the time I have put in trying to fix this is worth it or should I just get a new hard drive for it?? scottde2..... Well , unless your really attached to it ......... LOL ...... I would consider having a new one installed ....unless you are able to do it yourself. If thats the route you decide to go ...get a price to replace it first...... that laptop is what , 4 years OLD now ? It might be cost effective to replace it with a new laptop. dl65 Not knowing your location........Below is an example. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7728211&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat33200050001&id=1140391861639
