I have an old laptop here a friend dropped off to be fixed. The laptop boots up to the start screen but it looks like the hard drive has cratered. Doesn't even show up in the BIOS anymore.

I have no money for a new one, which would be stupid for a machine this old anyway. Does anyone have one kicking around in a dead machine or desk drawer or something? I can go trades on stuff.

This computer exists on the kitchen table for listening to music, checking email, looking at porn, etc etc, so I am going to run a free Linux build like Ubunutu or something.

Thanks in advance!
