My partner's brother is here and has brought his 11 year old laptop, which can take ages to start up and then freeze with no warning. I can see that the hard disk is well on its way out.
Most people would just replace the laptop itself, but there are 2 reasons why he doesn't want to. First, he still plays CDs and DVDs on it and there are no laptops currently available with a DVD drive. Second, he uses it for photo editing and it has a really good screen display.
Therefore, I'm thinking of fitting a new hard disk. I've been to the Crucial website, seen the options available and how to do the installation. I'm confident about it, except for one thing - what will happen if the laptop freezes during the disk cloning?
