Is My Hard Drive Messed Up?

[guitarchick]

So my laptop can't seem to handle a lot of movement. It will freeze up completely and I have to shut it off and turn it back on to do anything. Is this the hard drive and should I just replace it?

[Crusader]

harddrives are generally not built to move. is it making lots of clicking sounds?

[guitarchick]

no it doesn't click . it just freezes if I move the computer too much while using it.

hard drives generally fail pretty loudly. could be loose connections somewhere inside.

hmmm. Okay I'll get mah dad to open er up since I'd probably break it more if I did it myself.

 

thanks guys :)

I'd back everything up just in case it's ready to keel over though.
