I'd go to a computer shop, but we've not got the money. I'm saving for the hard drive myself; that's why it might take a while. We won't have the money to go to a computer shop, so it would be really useful to know how to do it without going to one. Of course, I don't need it now, as I don't have the hard drive yet, but we don't really have much other option.

Local shops are far to expensive. My dad managed to upgrade my ram no problem, so unless this is much more complicated, it should be fine.

I'm 15, but have the supervision of my parents.

Nope. Why I'd need to start a new topic. Don't know how to transfer the data either.

I know what to replace it with. I just wanted to know for when I have to start another topic, after I get the hard drive.

Ik it's been quite a bit of time, but, if what I've already sent makes shows you, can you tell me what kind of hard drive I have? Kinda forgot the specs and I've had it turned off for a good bit of time now, and I intend to keep it that way until I get a new one.

This one?

Judging by the fact that people were able to come up with replacements for it, I'm guessing you have access to what hard drive I had in the first place. In which case, what do I have, bc I can't remember which, and can you find one that I can easily replace it with, maybe even the same kind?

It's already off, but I didn't hold shift. Should I do it by the plug so I don't have to turn it on again

Would it be a good idea to turn it off by the plug?

2 questions. 1: How can I keep the hard drive alive long enough. 2: If I leave this until I get a new hard drive, which could take weeks, will this automatically close, as said at the beginning?

As well as that, if possible, can someone send me a hard drive simular to my own, like AdvancedSetup did, that I can get in the UK relatively quickly and inexpensively? I am a kid, so it might take a while, so the inexpensive part is key.

I need to at the very least keep it alive long enough for me to get a new one. That could take a while. Plus, I need to find one I can actually get. I'm from the UK.

How can I keep it alive long enough to get a new one?

My pc seems to be running quite slowly. Is there a chance that could be related to the bad blocks? It is still running though.
