Last week my Hard Drive died completly (no reason other than Windows XP) and I finally brought myself round to putting the restore disks in.. but nothing.. apparantly the disks cannot make Directories

Does this mean my year old 80GB is beyond repair??

Not sure but before the golf club incident my PC used to go through a hard drive every year.

if you can get to Dos, you might be able to use FDISK (on the windows boot disk) to remove all partitions and primary & logic drives, and then put back a brand new primary partition,then format.
