Thanks, Terry, Tony and Slater!

I'll replace the hard drive and get the latest Windows. Can I do as my buddy
suggested and simply mount the new HD next to my old one (saving having to back
all my data up)? Will the new Windows really over-ride Windows 98?

What caused my HD to die in less than 3-years when it was 70% unused? I've read
that frequent power failures and improperly shutting off the computer can hurt
HD's. But that wasn't the case with me.

All the best,

Stephen
