The hard drive in the gateway laptop

W00t it is no about 1/2 way done on the bad block scan (3028872/6801228) I am so happy it just might finish before the end of the month!!! It has been going since Sep 29!! That is one borked hard drive. The drive is toast but I am going to let this finish for the morbid fun of it, and just to be masochistic I am going to install Linux on it. Then stress the hard drive out, to see how hard I can bring the system down.

    My friend’s laptop turns on and says, “A Read Disk Error Occurred” when it turns on. Any solutions short of junking the computer?
