826521 2009-11-02 07:39:00 You need to back up all the data you don't want to lose,
and replace the hard drive.

826526 2009-11-02 07:51:00 Yes you can back all your data and get a new drive or if it's still under warranty back up all your data then send it back for a warranty claim.

Probably a laptop sata drive they are the 2.5 inch drives
