Bruno Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Maybe it's time to either tear this LAPPY apart and use hard Drive as an externalLaptop hd's are slow compared to regular ones Colin . . . so I don't know if that really is a good idea.I would put the Laptop in a safe place and wait a year or so to see if the replacement parts did get any cheaper.
