Answer:

It sounds like your thorny drive has former. If Acer is not going to warranty the computer, which it sounds like that are not, I would determine on your own whether or not the drive is discouraging. You can replace the drive your self for as little as $50. If you need a unyielding drive I would recommend Western Digital or Seagate.

I have programmed some hard drive utilities that will assist you.
