I'm not a computer expert by any means but until one chimes in....
With the computer being 5+ years old already and having to replace the HD probably costing you close to $150+ when it's all done (unless you do it yourself), I'd probably look into buying a new laptop. I've been happy with my Lenovo but I know there are plenty of other options available.
In your search for a new comput I'd go to slickdeals.com (or .net) and check to see what's out there currently on sale.
