laptop disk is dead..

Great, just not long after the warranty on the laptop runso out, the disk I think is going to die soon. Fuck, thanks Apple.

It's another 200 dollars if I install it myself, not to mention the trouble of backing all that shit up and restoring it.

The disk made a very bad clunking noise some weeks ago. I turned it off and turned it back on, seemed ok. Now, it's happening again ...

Though I know a guy who had his disk fail when the cable went loose. Maybe I should just take it apart (CAREFULLY so as not to void the warranty ...)
