I believe the hard drive is damaged on my D610 Dell. I wiped my hard disk and then installed WinXP from scratch and then it still freezes or just randomly reboots. (I had earlier problems with corrupted data multiple times before I wiped and reformatted).

Anyhow is it worth to fix the hard disk or buy a new hard disk? How much is a cheap hard disk?
Or should I just sell the broken laptop on ebay or something?


Thank you in advance.

If only the HDD, then replacing it is very inexpensive. You can use any of these HDDs to replace the one you have:

Up to you on how much you want to spend and what desired capacity to go with. Swapping a laptop HDD with the D610 should only take a couple of minutes.

Good luck!
