My hard drive is on its way!!!

A while back I bought my mom's old computer. A couple weeks later the hard drive crashed. Of course it was my fault, who else would it be when my mom is faultless. Anyway we looked into it and came up with the conclusion that somehow a lot of bad clusters were created when it crashed; bad to the point of unrepairable. We (when I say we I mean my mom) ordered another hard drive a like 2 weeks ago and they just recently sent an email saying that it was on its way. As soon as it arrives I'm gonna install Ubuntu Linux duel booting with Windows XP, so I can continue the lifestyle I have become accustomed to.
