It sounds like a hardware issue. You specifically mentioned the hard drives. Have you considered replacing the hard drive(s)? Would anyone at location know how to install a new hard drive?

If not, I have an older computer I am not using and I am willing to ship it to you free of charge if you could use it. I checked the requirements for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server Edition and the machine meets those requirements.

Here are the specifications of the computer.

1400MHz Pentium 4, 133MHz FSB
1GB 133MHz SDRAM
120GB ATA hard drive

I could add a second hard drive if you need it. The second hard drive would be smaller.
