My HDD is dying... - Anomander - 06-02-2012
Like the topic says - my HDD is dying - it's most likely physical damage, since I've check it for bad sectors (and do not find any)
Each time I trying to save something on HDD - my PC freezes after that I get BSoD (write fatal error) and then PC restart itself.
After that my HDD makes a grinding noise and can't start properly (what can be helped by hard reset).
That is connected with the fact - that I will have to freeze all graphic requests
at least to time I will change HDD to new one - or find some place to save my work.
I'm so sorry...

I would remove/disconnect that HDD from both data and power cables as soon as you possibly can, that grinding noise is not a good thing at all.
Doing that may give you a chance at retrieving data from it when you have a new HDD in your computer.

When you buy new HDD try to move the Data then sell the old one in Ebay as used and untested.:crazy:

it's not that easy - since it's laptop - and prices of HDD for laptops are quite high :/

You can find an affordable HDD around 500$
Sounds ironic, doesn't it xD
