Also, please, if the harddrive can be read at all, make a full-partition backup as soon as possible. If your OS is C, your data is D, backup both partitions. IF harddrive is heading for any hardware-failure, or major software-failure -- you may only have hours in the window to do backups.

I'm afraid prognosis is not good, a lot's of file failures, you should really make a backup first. Did you try defragmenting it ? If it's under warranty still ?

Replace the drive and then try to copy the data off the old drive. Hook it up to the laptop using a SATA to USB adapter, but don't try to boot from the old drive. You may be able to retrieve your data. good luck!

Should be able to pick most if not all data since it only gets BSODs but working at least good enough for now.

Whenever I am getting errors from a drive, I immediately back it up since I assume it could fail at any time.

It's even better to have backups all the time, with HDDs you never know when it's going to croak. I have seen them just disappear from radar.

Probably best to not defrag a known failing drive, rather, make backups ASAP. Because I did not want to risk an unrestorable image due to a bad image backup -- I've done folder-by-folder, file-by-file, just to quickly get whatever data remains good "off" of the problem HD onto my new replacement HD. Time is critical. LIke Nike: Just do it, now.

with the clone inside?

The question does not make sense -- the clone is not INSIDE anything. When you make an exact copy of a disk or a partition, that copy is the "clone" of the original. You generally do that because you want to copy the entire disk or partition to a new drive, and that is most often used when you want to replace the older drive and don't want to go the trouble of reinstalling everything -- the OS, your apps, and your data.

Also, what does the "sony center" have to do with this?

I have seen many a drive die although very few on my computers and just sent back a HDD that was DOA.
