Hello,
My Inspiron 1545 laptop has been freezing a lot lately. 9/10 times I turn it on, it will completely freeze up to the point where I have to manually power off. When I reboot, I get a black screen that says "check disk C:" and it does so. With a bit of research it's led me to believe something is wrong with my hard drive. I've had my laptop for 6 years or so.. really rely on it. I ran diagnostics and specified it to my hard drive symptoms. 00F0: 1332 popped up. I clicked to keep testing and it popped up, again.
I'm thinking I need a new hard drive but I'm not that great with computers but don't want to spend $200 at the store getting it fixed. Can anyone tell me what exact hard drive I can use to replace my laptops current one? Also some guidance in how to install it, back up my files, etc would be much appreciated. I need my laptop for college and I'm freaking out a bit!
Thanks,
Anna
