I am starting to get the warning notice that my Hard Disk Drive is malfunctioning...I already made a point of getting an External Hard Drive, but I am hoping to get a brand new computer soon. If I vanish inexplicably...that's why.

It may be false....but I am taking every precaution to protect myself if it really is dying.

You might just get away with buying a new hard drive and just installing Windows 10 on the new one. Once you already own a Windows machine you simply have to call up windows to get a key to transfer windows 10 to a new drive. That is if your using window 7. 

They'll disable the old key and give you a new one pretty easily. Though If you in for new PC I wish you good fortunate! New PCs are always exciting!!

I prefer to stay with Windows 7, and hoping to not have to buy a new comp.

:-( Hope things improve! Sucks when players suffer from hard drive issues.


Sincerely,
Arya

Its not bad, but theres a reason they are literally giving it away for free, its literally designed to spy on its users.

You can turn off the telemetry options.

Plus the install of a brand new operating system, and its a private company.

Best of luck, save your data on an External and make the move, costs are inevitable.  I'm so sorry to hear about this.
Maybe someone can lend a OS cd and/or the partition isn't damaged?  *prays*  

CD's are a pain, but the new HDD is gonna sting.

*wishes* could  help you with that hun .. know how it feels.

If you lived round me I'd reinstall it for nothing.   LOL  worked doing that as systems adming for uncle same for 9 1/2 years .  XD  so had my share of doing that. 

Least you don't have one of the new lappys they are a royal pain to do anything with anymore .. the desktop I am using is over 10 years old and I rebuilt it for use.  

But yeah thats way too expensive Foos right their padding to their cost
