AppleCare made me the same offer on my 17" PowerBook one month ago (user
replacement of failed hard disk). I had other issues so sent the machine in,
but could have swapped the drive if I had wanted to. YMMV, I'm sure,
depending on how convincing you sound and who you get when you call.

My advice still stands: Samantha should call Apple and ask about her
situation *specifically*.
