It might well be a problem of fragmentation, nothing dangerous, but still annoying. What kind of clicks do you get?
Anyhow, you should have a backup of your important stuff. And do that for all the partitions on the same HDD.

More than likely, yes.
Copy your personal data to CD / DVD ASAP.
Then, replace the hard drive.

yes....replace it as soon as possible. you should be able to copy or clone the old hard drive to save all your data, or have it done for you.
