the windows XP OS disk!!!

just got that much easier, and cheaper...

since this isnt my info on here, and she didnt care, should i format the hard drive and see if its maybe corrupted or something and re install the OS and Drivers? or would that be a waste of time?

I think that was on your list of things to do a few posts back.
Glad you found it.

If that HDD is making all the noise you say it is, I would considered it toast.
I wouldn't do sh!t with it unless it came up clean after a diagnostic.
Burn the free bootdisk I linked you and run the Toshiba diagnostic before wasting time with it.

Edit:
Use the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test.
