GUINNESS is on a distinguished road
5 or 6 yr old Gateway.... buy a new computer. If that's not an option, it is SIMPLE to replace a hard drive as long as you have a copy of the OS you want to run. Took me about 2 hours to install a new hard drive and Win XP, add all support packs, install Office and packs, hook old drive up as a slave, and transfer data from one to the other.

One thing to keep in mind is your BIOS and OS will determine the size drive you can get. Keep an eye on salescircular.com. I picked up a 150GB drive for $30 or $40 after rebates... set 20 - 30GB for the C:\ and the rest for data... but you'll need XP SP2 to be able to do that. Again, 5 - 6yr old Gateway (sucks ass), just get a new one.
