Ok, lately my hdd has had some issues. After a few hours running it would start making this screechy noise that would go on for a couple of seconds.
Today i come back from school, boot up my pc, and I get a popup from windows saying that the hard drive is broken and I should immediately make a backup. Anyway, haven't made the backup yet 'cause windows is stupid and it keeps failing on doing it.
Did some research and downloaded this tool to see my HDD's health, here's what I got (I am running a laptop btw, should be updating to a Desktop soon): http://i.gyazo.com/32392144a965de13c73566ab2089a1bd.png I don't care about losing anything because I don't have any importand files that I will lose. My games and all are in my steam library, so I've got nothing to worry about. What I am worried about is, my mother works on this computer (She makes digital albums). And I dont want her to lose all her work, and we're not in the best economic situation at the moment. Any help on what I should do? I will ofc take it to someone to repair it, but the backup keeps failing, no idea why (Using a USB for it).
Oh and I dont know if this is related to the harddrive, but lately my computer keeps freezing completely for about 3 minutes, and makes a VERY LOUD buzzing noise from my headphones/speakers (Depends on what Im using at that very moment).
But... Tbh idk how to replace an HDD, all i know is how to install an SSD without the HDD put in... But i recommend finding a good Hardrive for your PC (Try too) And look at some tutorials on how to replace it.... And to make a backup i think you can get another hardrive (external) and put all the files into it, although i dont think it will save all the system32 (cuz u needz it)
Again idk really what to do, try? looking some tutorials up on how to fix it, (Or helpful videos) :)

Ye... I dont think you can 'fix' a broken hardrive xD Personally i never had this happen, so i really dont know how to deal with it accept replacing it, and just putting the important files into another hardrive :P

"This laptop is too bad" Before you took your videos down, I saw you got 60+ FPS while recording... m8 u d0nt 3v3n kn0w w0t b4d 15
Anyways, I hope you fix it, haven't see you in game in ages ;c

Thats because I quit minecraft. And trust me, you dont need a good pc to get 60 fps in minecraft. It's that I recorded on small window 480p with region selection mode. You literally get no frame loss if you use these settings, and for the 480p thing I just later converted to 720p in sony vegas.
This laptop runs CS:GO with 20-30 fps on 4:3 stretched 800x600 which are RIDICULOUSLY LOW SETTINGS

Have you checked for any malware? Any bugs? Good luck with your new desktop. BUT LAPTOPS WILL ALWAYS BE op, ty :P
