Toshiba RD-XS24SB HDD/DVD RECORDER?

I REALY LIKED MY RECORDER IT WAS SO USER FRIENDLY.LIKE MANY OTHERS MINE HAS THE SAME HARD DRIVE FAULT,FREEZING UP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME,THE FIRST IT WAS IN WARANTY IF I FIT A NEW HARD DRIVE WOULD THIS FIX THE PROBLEM I WOULD RECOMENTD THAT NO ONE SHOULD PURCHASE ON OF THESE RECORDERS TILL THIS STOCK FAULT IT RECTIFIED,
I HAVE PURCHASED A SONY RECORDER IT WORKS WELL BUT NOT SO GOOD FOR EDITING
