yep as posted above hard drive is on its way out.

as its out of a branded pc it will have warenty with dell not the hdd manufacturer.

make sure u back up asap, try keeping it cool, that will help

and a new hdd will be around £40 easy to fit as dell have instructions on there site

If you get to the stage where your hard drive stops working and you havent backed up your data... Then take the drive out put it in the freezer for about 3-4 hours then set to slave and put in another computer and back up your data. This should give you plenty of time to rescuse your date...

Oh and your hard drive is on its way out, get another one... Might aswell say it too seeing as everyone else said it
