A colleague's Air mini-HD has died with surface errors, and although I
did salvage the content okay the OS sensibly refuses to install on it.

It's an original 2007 Air with ye olde-fashioned ATA hard drive
interface. It's out of Applecare.

Anyone know what the Apple price is for replacing the 80gig, or (out
of interest) a 64gig SSD?

Cheers - Jaimie

Not sure Apples pricing, but can source & fit Samsung refurb'd 80GBs,
which are half the price of a new drive.

Colleague is based in France, unfortunately - but I'll keep that in
mind if he comes back frothing about Apple's rates!

.... refurbished HDs? Does that mean rebuilt, or just salvaged from
other kit? I don't really fancy the idea of rebuilt 1.8" drives.
