for sometime now, my laptop (dell inspiron) has been running quite slow, esp. when i go on it after its been idle for a few hours/overnight. i also have been getting kernel errors/bsod on occasion and some overheating issues. right before i get the kernel error i usually hear a weird spinning/clicking noise. i am thinking that it is a HD problem and that i need to get a new one.
would you suggest that this is the problem? how hard is it to install a HD? is it just open up laptop, take out hd, put new hd in, and reinstall windows? what brand/specific model is best and where can i get it at a good price?
i also have atapi errors and disk warnings in the system log. and it takes FORVER to reboot the computer.
