best to either borrow a external drive and back up your work/stuff to be safe. I'd go with it dying too, although friendsd who have experienced this before have re-installed windows and solved the problem (for them at least lol)
 
Recently reinstalled windows to try combat it, Hence why no data is on the drive :) Its all backed up safely on a external drive and a laptop but ill test it now :)
 
Quick result: 0x00 No errors
Advanced: 0x00 No errors

Erm.. Im stuck :/

Might just buy a ssd and stick this as a storage drive temp.. I don't even use it much due to work but when home i dnt wana have to mess with it
