Sorry to hear that Ed. Hope you have your data backed up adequately.
You should be able to get a new hard drive for it.

http://www.newegg.com/
http://www.microcenter.com/
http://www.tigerdirect.com/

would all likely have a replacement drive for your system.

Good luck with it. Reinforces my feeling about needing a backup solution for
my home systems which I took care of with the HP Mediashare Windows home
server that now backs up all my systems every night if they are left on. And
it warns me when a system hasn't been backed up for a few days so it is a
reminder to power it up and do a manual backup like I did with a couple
systems on Saturday morning.
