Firstly this computer was brought from overclockers and completely built for me so I'm not sure if im allowed to go inside and poke around but anyway.
PC is only a few months old and about 2 months after having it i got a windows 7 error about my hard drive having a problem and i have to make sure i back up (majority of important stuff is on a external HDD anyway) however since then i've had loads of problems, pc freezes, very slow running and at times troubles turning the damn thing on. So i got diagnostic app and run it to see what the problem was.
It came back saying i had a error in "reallocated Sectors Count" Now i have no idea what that means but it does say "bad" in big capital letters, now the hard drive in question came with the PC and it's a Seagate Barracuda 500 GB (ST3500418AS). I would fix it myself and get a new HDD and install windows 7 on it, however i haven't got the CD as to my knowledge it was a oem, i have the key on my tower ofc but nothing to install it on a new HDD.
So simply what do i do? or maybe what can i do?
Thanks for any help
