Another vote for saving the apparently dead drive...it might work in the new computer! I updated my thread <a href="http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=96222">"Hard Drive Hardware Failure"</a> to reflect this suggestion culled from the web: so long as the drive doesn't use fluid bearings and is still spinning up when powered on (but makes noises, etc.), try freezing the drive in a Ziplock bag in the freezer for 2 hours. You may be able to get uptime after pulling it from the freezer; I did!
