The link is working. Most likely your McAfee antivirus is blocking the site.

The hard drive is not reliable as a sector is found to be uncorrectable. Please backup your files ASAP and a replacement would likely solve the problem. See current pending and Uncorrectable sector attribute from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. Quote from: PATIO on August 15, 2013, 08:03:21 PM

Ditto.  WinXP's system requirements have greatly increased as of lately. Quote from: Computer_Commando on August 17, 2013, 02:02:40 PM

Thanks. Do you have any suggestion on finding the replacement disk. I mean

"Can  I get any HDD for the replacement or any specific requirement/factor I need to consider. I want to try a bigger spacious HDD. Is there any utilities which I can run to identify the options I have"

Many thanks.
Your HDD:  75GB Western Digital WDC WD800BD-22LRA0 (SATA)
Speccy says SATA, but it's not!!  It's ATA (IDE).

Better to get a new computer than a new hard drive.

The disk type WD800BD-22LRA0 seems to be an early SATA disk with optional Molex 4 pin power connection see http://www.impactcomputers.com/wd800bd-22lra0.html for example, and definitively WD's own data sheet (p3) http://www.wdc.com/en/library/sata/2879-701277.pdf
On searching for this model, however, most of hits are for downloading drivers which refer to this model as "ATA" - maybe in confusion with (Serial) "ATA"
