You can replace the hardrive in a MAC for roughly the same price you would pay to do the same for a PC. I don't understand what his situation is about but, I do know my experience was much more pleasant. In trying to isolate the problem I was having, Apple replaced my hard drive, both processors, and the DVD-RW/CD-RW optical drive and I didn't spend a single cent.
