An external hard disk is a better option for your computer.
benifit is that u can carry it with you and collect data with from another computer easily.

Actually if the hd is corrupted, you can try to go to safe mode or do a chkdsk and then fix boot otherwise you need to contact drivesavers for that.

it depends on u;re BIOS ! So check u;re bios and manual ...
(for example if it supports ata-4 (ultra-ata/33) )then the limit will be 128G !

Hi
Seems like the hard drive has failed, or there is no hard drive in the laptop, replace it with a new one.
This part of the service manual shows you how to replace it:
