Hard disk exerciser

[Scott]

Thanks for the tip on dbench.

I found the diag cd that came with the laptop (havent seen it in 2 years!) 
and booted it.  It tested all the components and confirmed what I thought.  
Ide0 is toast.  Time to go shopping for a new laptop hard disk. (a bigger 
one too :> ).
