it's not a huge cost to replace the drive

say goodby - and then switch it off.
it's time to let it go to the light (presumably deep blue)
alternatively
a new hdd isn't going to break the bank
don't go mad - it's not worth it - and a huge disk may not be recognised (it looks as if 80Gb is the biggest it ever shipped with) - if yours was bigger fine - just bear it in mind
32 will be safe 40 should be safe - but just possibly ...
