You have to contact Western Digital, but I doubt they will do anything for you.

Most western digital drives are 5 years, contact WD to find out the warranty status.

It's my understanding that the individual components of a PC are all placed under the warranty of the PC manufacturer. So when your laptop warranty expired, all coverage expired.

Anyhow, Western Digital now offers only a 2 year warranty on many of their HDD's.

yeah your mostly out of luck so i would backup that hard drive up with something like acronis or paragon soon and restore it to another good one so you don't lose your data.

Hey Nfsworldrace, don't sweat it, life's too short. Get yourself some San Miguel beer and a nice plate of nachos! That always smoothes things over for me. Plus, hard drives aren't all that expensive nowadays.
