You had said that the Toshiba drive category selection page wasn't taking you anywhere. Which choice were you making that most closely matches your hard drive? The exact HD model may be listed for the hard drive in BIOS setup, Disk Management, or look on the drive. Google model + hard drive DOS diagnostics to read how to diagnose.

I got the model no from Disk Management in Ubuntu(TOSHIBA MQ01ABD050). On Google I found FAQ :: How do I test the Hard Drive on my computer? :: Support :: Toshiba :: Computers, Laptops/Notebooks, Tablets, Televisions, DVD and Blu-Ray Players, Camcorders, Storage, Accessories, and more

This file was in smart folder. Got 152 badblocks on my HD.

I'd replace the drive.

The best upgrade you can have for Win7 is an SSD, lightning fast, faster than buying a new high-end PC without one. Prices are coming down daily.

Is there any catch using a SSD, like on its speed with number of read/write, temperature issue etc ?
