Hi!
so i have this old machine Dell vostro with i5 2400, 4 gigs of ram and a wd500 WD5000AAKX hard drive, lately the hdd started showing signs of failure(hangs up , slows down, os keeps rebooting ) i did a chkdsk command check the problem kinda disappeared ,i formatted and reinstalled windows all looked fine , stayed in good shape like a couple of days until the problem resurfaced this time i used crystal disk info a caution status appeared , i scanned with HDtune discovered a bad block also i noticed an id 7 error event, what amazed me is that next day every thing went back to normal like magic !!! should i replace this drive or not ?
