There are noises coming out of my system's hard disk. Like for example when I download an Acrobat document, there is a lot of noise as if Hard Disk is fetching something from very 'far-off'. My hardware engineer says that the Hard Disk is nearing end of its life and will crash soon. I am using this disk since early 1999.
Questions:
1. What do I do in advance so that I dont lose any of my data?
2. Can data be recovered if Hard Disk crashes suddenly?
3. How frequently should one change the Hard Disk?
4. Which brand should I opt for?
Plz answer all questions. I know I am asking for too much!
Thanks.
