RE:

If you could read from the drive then it may only be a portion of the HD that is broken. If you have got *all* the files you need try formating and reinstalling. Usually a format will mark bad sectors of the disk keeping them from being written to. You could also try downloading Knoppix linux (live CD) to recover if nesscessary. If your HD is bad though I would just buy a new one. Outpost.com usually has good weekly specials on HD's.

Hope this helps.
