A friend of mine has an HP laptop she was using to download music from the iStore.

The HP hard drive crashed with bad sectors.

I am under the impression you cannot download the songs again. But the hard drive was destroyed so how can she get her music again.

Use the form at the bottom of that page; fill in all the account information. Explain exactly what happened and be polite.

These issues are handled on a case-by-case basis. They'll usually email you in a day or so and allow you to re-download once. From there, you should immediately burn a backup of the song files onto CD. And backup any future purchases as well.

Good luck.
