The most common reason for hard drive failure, accounting for 65 percent of the problems CER finds, is the hard drive heads physically crashing into the hard disk platters. This often can be prevented.
Be careful about bumping into a computer particularly during the vulnerbale time when it first boots up. With a laptop, don't walk around with it as it's starting up. |

When it comes to a laptop, you need to take extra care in handling it. Don't bang it around or drop it, both can cause immediate hard drive failure or loss of data. |
