[CentOS] dying hd on live legacy system...

We have an old 3.x server whose hd is dying (kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry:
dma status == 0x61) and accessing certain files just crashes the system with
a reboot.

We have moved as many files to a nfs server as we could so simply.

The system has been heavily modified (all using rpms) from baseline.

What is the most practical method to replace the hard drive?
