Buckeye1647545503 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 my Moms hard drive took a shit and I have not been able to get with ben to try his. I need a working CPU that will let her surf the net and send e-mail and word processing. So it does not need to be much at all and the cheaper the better I don't like spending money on something that she seems to be super at killing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjackson Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 my Moms hard drive took a shit Idea ... spend less money and buy a new hard drive and then reformat the puter ... unless there's hardware issues other than the hard drive, a new drive should fix it ... can get a 40Gb from Best Buy for about $50-70 ... or since there's a bunch of tech guys on this board, you might be able to find a 15-20Gb from someone on here, I personally don't have one though.
