Clicking noises usually indicate a hard drive that is dying. You may want
to consider having your hard drive tested or replaced ASAP before it totally
fails.

Hi,
I ran ScanDisk today and it says: 32,768 bytes in bad
sectors. Does this mean my hdd is really failing? What is
the most efficient way to back up all my data before my
hdd dies out copmletely? If I purchase a new hdd, do I
need to buy a new Windows OS software all over again?
Thanks.
