Lenovo unknown problems

[Lilpopo]

My lenovo latop which is almost 2 yrs old occasionally gives me a boot disk error when starting up, it also makes a strange clicking sound when its booting up or when I'm gaming.

Can somebody please help me sort this problem out?

Clicking sounds combined with a disk error almost certainly means your hard drive is failing. Back up any important files immediately. Like before you do anything else with the computer.

Then download Speedfan here:

This program allows you to read the SMART values from the hard drive. As well as test the health of the drive. Check those values and report back.

I second it. It definitely means a dying HDD. The most important thing is to get your data and the product key out of the old drive. What OS is on it currently?

Thank you for the replies. The OS is windows 7

Did it come with windows 7? Can you read your product key sticker off the back of the laptop? But also get your data off of it
