Help Please!! Do I need a new hard drive?
-
19-01-2010 9:41pm#1I have a dell vostro 1400 that is about 3 years old.
I installed windows 7 at the start of December. Three weeks ago windows started crashing while I was online (regardless of whether I was running chrome or firefox).
I presumed this error was caused by outdated drivers or a shortage of ram. So I checked that all my drivers were up to date, and I upped the allocation of virtual Ram.
This didn't solve my problem.
Next I ran dell diagnostics from the boot menu and got this error:
" 0F00:065D Disk_0 SELF TEST READ ERROR ide smart drive self test"
According to google this means that my hard drive is close to dying; but I said I'd ask here to verify.
I have everything backed up to an external using windows backup.
Should I take the plunge and buy a new hard drive and attempt to restore from my backup?
Or am I jumping to the wrong conclusion entirely?
Any help would be appreciated
