Yup. Off to spend $90 on a new hard drive, then spend countless hours copying my installations over :/

I bet that if you call the company's customer support line, and even thought you know that its wrong, yell at them for faulty machinery and demand a refund ^-^

If it's not dead yet, you need to hope it doesn't die whilst you clone the drive.

RAID1 For the win for basic protection against failures, especially now that HDDs are relatively cheap.

RAID in a laptop?

And I'm dd'ing the drives with my trusty 3 year old gparted live cd. It's scratched to all he'll, and still works beautifully. I named it ol' faithful.

I started the dd when i left for work, and i got home, and it had only copied 4gb after 8 hours. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

This could take a while.
