Hi Zach I don't know how to fix your old laptop, and I have heard that laptop hard drives have stunted lifespans, but there are products on the market that can provide an external enclosure and USB interface for these hard drives. I have one myself, but you do need to look around.
As for USB booting, I have spent many hours googling, and the general consensus is if the BIOS doesn't support it, then its impossible. Good Luck David S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
