1>buy your own laptop so you can do what you want with it
2>buy a new drive and recover your data befor the old drive completly crashes
3> stop letting othere ppl use your equipment as you dont know what thy do with it or what thy may be infected with that infects your equipment thus causing you problems/ or causing them problems with your infected equipment
4>defrag said hd and trash asmuch junk from it so the accses times go down note the 137 gig limit of windows 32 bit systems "thus partition"
