Tell us something really 23 about your life (vol trivial)

Thanks. The last laptop was starting to play up so I replaced it. Bags of time to retrieve stuff I hadn't backed up before it failed completely... except when it played up more than usual and I applied percussive encouragement. Percussive encouragement immediately above the hard drive, it turned out. It then wouldn't boot up. At the weekend, on a whim, I swapped the identical hard drive from the even older laptop and it had a go at starting, prevented only by an incorrect version of Windows.
As I think I have narrowed the fault down to a squidged hard drive, can I do anything myself to relieve the squidge by maybe buying a replacement hard drive and cannibalising it? Or something similar.
It's not the end of the world if it fails totally.

Some clarity please squire. Real or virtual?
My plan is for simultaneous real/virtual/countrywide drinks up. If you fancy a good old fashioned virtual drink up you can call, email or Skype those having real drink ups. A real one, for example, could well be in the Rubbing Room in Epsom with phones, tablets and laptops at the ready.I'd wager Chunjy would make a unilateral declaration of virtualness and have an email and phone drink up in the outer Hebrides or wherever he is next Wednesday.

Chunky! I was about to give up.Long live stag Wednesdays!
Stag Thursdays are scheduled to be restored immediately afterwards.
It's a one off.
Actually it's a 'fk; these fking water meters are everywhere!' Phase.
You can always catch me on the chunkline if I'm needed.
