Zero One - My hard drive is dying

[RSS Bot]

Well, a few months ago I had my main HDD go fritz on me: the freezer trick worked, and it has been working pretty normal ever since; or at least to my knowledge it has, as this computer is kinda funky anyway.

 

Whatever case, I checked HD Tune today to check the stats on my new 1.5 TB External HDD (for backups no less ^_^) and I discoverd a nice big red flag on my main drive:

 

RAW READ ERROR RATE: Failed

 

This is one of the major flags, meaning this drive could die at pretty much any moment.. or I could have another few years out of it. @_@

 

So, I duno what to do or think. I do need a new computer, sure, but I wonder what I can do to save Maria.. she uses EIDE drives, which basically means, well, I am screwed on getting a "new" drive. Everything is SATA now...

 

Any advice guys?
