craigslist
ebay
newegg
or some other online place

new 120gb HD shouldnt cost more than $75 at most.


install that into your laptop, then get the adapter to turn your OLD hard drive into a USB drive. Buy this adapter from newegg or an electronics store near you (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc...). should cost lest than $20 for the adapter.


then pull your files from the old hard drive (pictures, documents, music, videos, etc..). when done, format that hard drive and sell on craigslist to recoup some cost.
this is awesome advice. im going to do this tonight. i just need to find a hardrive that will work with my laptop, or are they all the same?
