Other than that I don't know what cpu would be needed for massively heavy browser usage.

They use the internet a lot, watch videos and Youtube, and often end up opening so many pages at once that the laptop would go to 100% ram usage with 8gb of ram (which is silly, but they do if often enough that they probably should have more than 8gb). But I really don't know what specs to go for. They aren't a gamer and didn't even have a video card. And not something that cuts corners and won't last, like Dell. I wonder what places might sell laptops with mechanical hdds these days (they need a big hdd, so that's necessary).

I don't know how they'll find all the drivers for the laptop's hardware to put on a new installation of Windows either. I don't have any idea how much it would cost for the repair. If Windows has to be bought again, that might make it not worth the price to get the hdd replaced in comparison to getting a new laptop. They have Home, so I would guess that also means it's single use. Seriously? That should be illegal as anti consumer. I don't thing trying to clone it myself would be viable.

And I don't know that there's enough free space left for a clone anyway now that everything is backed up. But it would help to be able to show them someone confirming that it's very important to not use it at all, if that's the case. Or if it's is so critical at this point that continuing to use it now would be a huge risk of killing the drive entirely and making it unable to be cloned, maybe I would be able to convince them. They might refuse to stop using until we can bring it in for repair and I'd like to try to preserve it as much as possible, in the hopes that by the time it gets to a repair shop it can still be cloned to put on the replacement drive. The person who uses it has bad eyesight and mobility issues so it's hard for them to do anything not on the laptop, tbh. Until we can get it replaced do you have any idea if it's better to hibernate it overnight, or do a shut down? There's no places open on the weekend, so I have a question. Hopefully there's somewhere near here that can replace the laptop's hd (ideally cloning it to the new drive) at a reasonable price. Reallocated had gone from 8 up to 18 when I checked it today.

Everything important is backed up now at least. I've never done a clone myself and don't know that works. Having to reinstall everything would be a pain though if it comes to that. There's no chance for data loss, at least. Wish me luck?Īll important files are already backed up. Looks like we need to find a local repair shop that can replace the hard drive and hopefully clone the drive to the new one so everything doesn't have to be installed again. New edit: I checked it again today and it's up to 18 reallocated sectors.

Or is this high priority to the point that should be done completely asap?Įdit: Is HD Sentinel worth getting? I don't have any particular software I've ever used for monitoring something like this. I'm going to be helping them back up anything not already backed up over the next several days, with the most essential things backed up first. I don't know if they actually did that hard enough to cause some hdd damage or not (seems unlikely to me), but it possibly might have been the cause if they jarred the laptop hard enough. When I asked them if the laptop had been dropped or jarred recently (as a possible cause for the damage) they said they had 'pressed the touchpad hard' one time when they got mad about something. Should they be worried, and how much? Is there anything special to do about this?Įdit: After more than a day it's still the same, hasn't gone up at all. It has stayed at 8 checking it periodically over the last hour. Reallocated Sectors Count is the only thing with caution. The drive is probably four or five years old at this point.Įdit: I was in a hurry when I posted and I forgot to say they have a laptop so replacing the hdd would be a problem. Prior to this any time the hdd was checked the health status was good. They have one mechanical hdd, and no ssd.
