If your hard drive is failing, you need to do something soon. I would attempt a disk image written to your external drive. The Acronis package is quite good at this. If you have a Maxtor or Seagate drive you can use Disk Wizard from Seagate to do this as well as it is a slightly crippled version from Acronis.

Good luck.

The “click of death” means you have limited time to transfer all your data files to your external drive. Do it now.

It’s possible to install your OS on an external drive, if your hardware is new enough to recognize it. But it’s a complicated process and you don’t fix the problem that way. Just buy a new hard drive for you ebook and reinstall everything. Then transfer your data files back over from your external drive.

dont really understand all your questions……….

1. yes if you sure your hard drive is failing, quickly transfer all the files to another external hard drive or your ebook hard drive (if it can fit), i suggest you buy another external hard drive.

2. for loading windows from hard drive, yes it’s possible with certain settings.

3. Try to write the questions more systematic next time.
