They charge $30 to look at it.. How much on average does a new hard drive range from?

A new hard drive means a basically new computer right? Like all the content and stuff will be gone..

Yep unless the shop can somehow access the old drive and backup any data you need to save. Programs will have to be reinstalled also as those cannot simply be transferred over.

Ahh well.. Rather lose them and be able to use the laptop, then have them and not be able to get to them. Anyways.. I'll post on here in a few days, HP is sending me some disc to try and fix the problem. If it doesn't, they said they would furnish a new hard drive (I think.. I'm under warranty)
Thanks again for all your help!

That is great to hear and just for my information are they sending you a set of Recovery disks?

That is great to hear. I hope it works and if not you already know you can get a replacement hard drive now.

So.. The recovery disk has no effect.. And I have to pay $1 for a new one, 'cause I'm still under warranty, and they want the old hard drive back. Now I just have to get a tiny screwdriver to fit the hard drives screws.

1 dollar for a new hard drive and that is all? That isn't to bad really when you think about the price of one. Once you get the new hard drive then the Recovery Disks should work with no problem.

Yeah, one dollar, only if I send the old one back within 15 days... So I have to take the ol one out, and get it ready for the delivery man to send back. Save him a trip.. And time.
But since I don't have much choice, seeing as nobody will take me, so I have to take it out myself. Could you link me to a easy guide to that? iPod capatable, since that's all I've got. Maybe even for the model as well? That's only if you want, though.
