Installing a whole new OS on a flakey harddrive is a recipe for disaster. In my experience once drive start showing back sectors they usually go bang pretty quickly. 40-60GB laptop drive are pretty cheap these days and most laptops have bays so they are easy to change. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
