Is my hard disk dying?
�
This is my first post so sorry if the answer is obvious to you.
I have a Dell Studio 1555 laptop, Windows 7 (Ultimate - 64 bit), which is running v.slow. I have run chkdsk /f /r and it has repaired a bad file but I am getting errors when running Dell disk hardware tests:-
1. Read test
Error Code 0f00:0232
Block 35020160 interrupt request did not set in time.
2. DST self test
0F00:065D
When I run Paragon Disk Backup tools it tells me there are minor disk errors.
Current disk is Samsung HM 320II (300 Gb SATA), should I buy a new (larger) disk now and if yes then what is recommended? I hope to use Paragon recovery to copy data over to new disk.
Many thanks

Hi Ian_M2153,
Yes, you need to replace this hard drive. You're fortunate to have gotten an early warning. Your laptop can take any standard 2.5" SATA hard drive. I would consult your Paragon documentation for information on how to clone the existing hard drive to the new one.

Hi Osprey,
Many thanks for your information and a fast reply, I will order a disk ASAP. The link to your software toolkit looks very useful as well.
Many thanks,
