It frightens me how many people do not back up their data. Not to scare you (well, maybe you should be scared), but that hard drive will fail. It is just a matter of when. And the warranty that you have will mean nothing. Why? The first thing that will cause some high blood pressure is that all that data on the hard drive is lost. Files gone. Music gone. Pictures gone. Software gone. Maybe the hard drive files can be recovered if you send the hard drive to specialists who will charge you an incredible, astronomical amount. And that recovery is not guaranteed.

Please — do yourself a favor. Back up! Here is a program that will do this for you. It is the well known Acronis True Image Program. The backup can be done easily:
