No worries, apparently the 80g Toshiba drives have a history of dying. On the plus side i back up most important things and went from 80g to 150g drive in my PB G4 12'
The only bitch is reloading all the updates and such once you re-install the OS. Apparently the best way is to clone the complete system with Carbon Copy Cloner but i had not gone that far. Unfortunately PowerBooks can not boot from a USB drive so that kills alot of options when it comes to downloading OS X etc. I managed to get a copy of Leopard retail and fit it on single layer DVD (you delete the languages to get the space). Not had any issues so far using it. Same goes for iLife.
Cheers
