I will try again.

I have just replaced the hard drive on my old laptop, which was only a
couple of years old when it died, so I am familiar with that
procedure. I
sure hate to have to replace another one. The only reason I bought
this new laptop is because the old one died while we were on our
winter vacation and
thought we couldn't live without one. I wonder if it would still be
under
warranty? I bought it from Best Buy and hope to God that I don't have
to
deal with them on warranty issues. I swore never to darken their
doors again.

Since you didn't tell me what drive you have, I can't give you a link.
You can always download SeaTools, which works on drives other than
Seagates.

You want the SeaTools Desktop. Make a bootable cd with third-party
burning software.

I think you might want to consider taking the laptop to a local
professional. This will not be someone like BestBuy or CompUSA.
