HDD test failed
Hello as the tittle says my laptops (pavilion dm4-2050us) hard drive has failed after 2 yrs unfortunately it is no longer under warranty. when i turned on the laptop it gets stuck loads and then restarts. i ran a hdd test and it failed the LONG DST failed. so my question is do i have to replace it? which one can i replace it with? i also read that i would have to install windows 7 from a recovery disk, but the laptop did not come with a recovery disk to reinstall windows 7..... and is it possible to retrive my pics from the damage hdd.
