Or spend a few more quid to get a brand new bigger and faster hard drive rather than an ancient one that's probably approaching the end of it's life anyway.
We bought an external hard drive for it a few months ago.
Does anyone know any links for help transfering files to it? Or what system files can we transfer without killing the laptop
