HELP!!!!!!

My internal 5.25" drive is dying.  I believe it is gummed up inside, because
the disk drive is running slow, and sometimes it doesn't even run at all 
(between 250 and 275 ms, instead of 198 - 202 ms!)  It's more than 5 years
old, and I don't have enough money to pay someone to repair it right now.
Is there anything I can do to fix it, like a special disk or something?  I 
don't think I could take it apart and do anything, unless I'm certain what I'm
doing.  

Please help!!!!!!
(please e-mail responses, I will be on vacation till July starting this Sat!)

Thanks!!!!!
