Have you considered BUYING a hard drive and a cdrom drive. You could have
both for just a little money or you could format and start over. Lord knows,
we've all had to do that before. After 2 -releases it's hard to say what
could be broken after your various upgrades and tweaks. At the very least,
more info would be needed. In short, I agree with Matthew, you should
probably upgrade and eat the expense/downtime. Sorry.
