Basic Symptoms Of A Failed Damaged Hard Drive:

- "No Boot Device Found" on startup
- "Disk Read Error on startup
- "Smart Drive Error" on startup
- Hard drive makes strange noises
- You may receive "Blue Screen of Death" error screen
- System locks up when you try to boot, start the system occasionally.
- When you try to open or save a file, it takes unexpected time or error message.
- System fails to boot completely with "Boot Disk Error", or "No Boot Disk Found", "Drive Error".

Maintaining a current backup of all important data on your computer or laptop is extremely important! Hard drives DO NOT last forever. Hard drives DO have a general lifespan. Laptop hard drives fail at a much higher rate over desktop systems, due to lack of air flow, lack of proper cooling and the mobility of laptops in general. How well you maintain your computer, and it's hard drive will give your computers hard drive the longest life. An over worked, overheated, virus infected, heavily fragmented hard drive will have a very short life.
As far as backing up data on your computer, a very easy, scheduled, and automatic, safe, secure, "set & forget" method of backing up that I recommend is

There are also computer viruses that are coded, programmed to destroy the data, format (erase) the hardrive, and can very well destroy the drive completely by overheat. Computer viruses, and spyware will run the hardware run at full maximum. This is what produces the non responsive freeze, lockups, slow downs. This also produces more HEAT from the hardware within the computer or laptop. This heat is the #1 reason for computer hardware failure, especially with hard drives.
I have replaced approximately 30 hard drives in the last 6 months, all of which were from laptop computers.
Compared to 4 desktop hard drives replaced in the last year.
