No reason you can't remove the HD before taking it to them. However, I'd guess
that, for $99, they will just tell you the first thing they find wrong, rather
than completely testing each component. And obviously they can't test the HD if
they don't have it.
If the HD does work, no reason you can't add it into your new computer and use
it as a second disk ... having too much disk space is like being too rich. This
machine has 3 HDs in it, and I need to kick one out so I can install a bigger
one ...
