Success...

I am so proud of myself. I installed a new hard drive in to my computer all by myself. I figured I would have problems since it was my main hard drive that failed but I didn't. Once I figured out how to get my computer to boot form the CD, things went well. I bought a 120GB Western Digital hard drive for right ar 100 bucks which boosted my storage from my prior capacity. I had bought this computer form a friend and it had two 10GB hard drive and I had filled one almost all the way up.

So now all that left is to extract data form the old busted hard drive.
