Any suggestions?

I have a co-worker who wanted me to repair her PC, I usually do this on the side for cash. I told her I'll take a look at it and when I find out whats wrong I'll let her know how much to fix it. SHe has so many errors on this PC it was unreal!!!! The power supply was mounted in by one screw because its to lage for the case, they had 2 hard drives one slave one master but on the wrong position on the cables. Thay had a memory card not in all the way. There are tons of disk errors that I was still working on, I reloaded the OS and was still getting errors. I told her I would charge her $60 for fixing everything and make a ghost copy of her system. She paid me $40 already, but upon thinking it mught be the hard drive being bad she said, "find out if it is and then just give me the PC back , I'll put in a new hard drive and load XP so I don't have to pay you any more". She expects me to continue to trouble shoot her PC and then just say here ya go, after several hours of working on it. I don't think so!!!! I am going to un-install everything but the OS, I'm even going to get rid of the XP updates I downloaded. I would love to put something on her PC that wont harm it but drive her crazy, any ideas??

just do whats shes paying you to do and leave it at that. this is a tech forum not some place to discuss how to sabatoge someones computer because they want their disabled unit back. just take the money are tell her that its the last time you will help her with anything and leave it at that.

I understand you concern, if you read my post you would see that I did not want to cause any damage, I was venting. If you knew the crap that this person pulls you would know why I am alittle upset. I have been stiffed by her before, I didn't want to help her but she begged me becuase she couldn't afford to take it to shop and I'm a nice guy that usually tries to help people if I can.

What I meant by program was a joke like when you open IE it says "I'm looking at Porn" or something along that line. Plus, I wouldn't have done it any way because I act professionally when working with PC's.
