I had a xp pro with a 80 GB drive. It went wrong but I did have an Aconis image
of both drive C: and Drive:

I installed the new 320GB disk (Aus$139) and transferred the Images from the
external drive to the new disk. That happend just 3 weeks ago but everything has
worked well since then. I think that the exchance and update of a disk might be
in order but major surgery to the computer may just not be permissible.
