it's not a good idea to use compressed air when a computer is on, it can go boom. second, just get a new drive, they are dirt cheep, and pretty easy to install.
open case, remove the old drive, look to see how it was configured (slave / master / cable select) then set the new drive the same way, plug it in, close case, power on, install new software if needed. let me / us know how much more indepth of an explination you need.
