First off, it's pretty big missive. You gotta kept it short and to the
point. I have some personal experience with badblock. My hard drive
in my laptop Tecra M3 was about 3 years old -- 35 gig. I simply bought
a new one for $60 bucks, and another 1 Gig ram. All in all cost me
about 99 dollars.

Before buying I did lots of research, and many expert agree upon one
point -- if the hard drive is three years older than get a new one.
Software can not fix hardware flaws.
