Assuming your laptop has a lot of hours on it...
Get yourself a new laptop, and get a hold of a USB drive chassis to copy the data off your old drive.
For under $500, you can get a brand new machine with a warranty, the latest OS, faster processor, more memory, bigger drive, etc.

Boy I havent seen anything new like that.
I have 4mb 500GB 3.something and I dont see anything inexpensive with some push to it. I dont do much but I do a lot of it, all at once and need a fast computer.
