It seems my HDD is dying.
From what I can deduce, it seems to be dying anyway. All of a sudden (while my rig was sitting in MemTest) when my HDD was accessed it have started to hear a scratchy sound coming from the HDD. It doesn't make me feel safe, but I have backed up all my important data already.
The drive (Seagate Barracuda IDE 7200 120GB) is about a year old (as of september and it hasn't been overly used (been about half full all the time)
I need a minimum of downtime so what should I do:
Wait until the drive fails then buy a replacement (the drive came with an OEM system so I don't think I have a guarantee on it)
or should I:
Buy a new drive now and port everything over while it still works fine
Help is muchly appreciated :)
