problems with aspire 5670

i noticed there was a significant slow down on my system
i tried to do a reformat but it failed saying my drive is corrupted
scandisk doesn't work, it only stay at 0%

just wanted to know whats wrong with it, so i can get it fixed
i am hoping it'll be the harddrive

thanks for reading

 

sounds like the HDD

 

thanks! guess i'll go buy a new harddrive for it, too bad i don't know how to install it

 

install hard disk is easy make sure you get sata laptop hard disk

they cover at bottom it corner 2 scews
remove the cover they be one scew at end hold bracket in lift it out

remove old hard disk from ide bracket they be most like 4 screws on side holding it and lift out slide new hard disk into bracket put one screw back in at top of hard disk end close to side of case put cover and 2 screws

reinstall from you recover disk

that asume you made a set

 

also before you swap disk out try the hitchi hard disk daig to be sure

I suggestd the cdrdom iso imagme one

 

Thanks For the link.

 

thanks andyasselin! i checked and it says there is an error on the drive
now i definitely know it is the harddrive

 

will Western Digital 160G - 5400rpm SATA Notebook Hard Drive - WD1600BEVS (OEM) be good enough?

 

See if you can get a faster RPM than that, it'll speed everything up.

 

I'd give Spinrite a try.
