Hard drive problems
Hello.
I have a Dell Inspiron for just over a year now and after Hard drive status check failed i got an error message that hard drive failure is imminent and i should back-up my files and replace my drive. I was wondering what the course of action should be and if warranty cover these sorts of problems?
I presume that the hard drive has been faulty since the beginning as i observed some performance troubles since day 1. When playing games or watching videos the computer would get stuck/laggy for a second or two with these weird noises coming from speakers, but since it was quite rare and didn't affect the performance or test results it didn't bother me.
Here is a screen shot of the scan -
What should i do?
Thanks in advance!
