[Failing hard disk] Shall I take a system backup?
Okay, so I had various issues months back and I had reported it here. My system had various problems because my HDD is failing, found temporary solutions, but seems like I should get a new HDD before I lose my data or my system goes down for a day or 2.
So shall I take a complete backup of the OS (i am not sure if it is possible), and everything and restore it on my new HDD?
I am not looking forward to have a fresh installation, cause this seems to be fine for now; so if there are no risks from taking complete system backup and restoring it on the new HDD, I would prefer so.
If that can be done and it's not too time-consuming, please show me the methods too.
Thanks! :)
Edit: Can my unresponsive Right click be related to the issue? Also sometimes mouse is unstable while drag and drop/selecting stuff.
Edit 2: The store from where I bought told me WD will replace the HDD since mine is in warranty period. Give me suggestions please. (in case if you will need any info, I stay in Mumbai,India)
