            I have a 250Gig seagate, but why not get a new one, they're cheap.

                Because I'm not 100% sure it's the harddrive, it could be my controller. Is that seagate SATA?

                    I would if I could find something reasonable, but I don't want to throw down a bill on a laptop that might have a faulty hard drive controller.

                      Yes it's a sata hdd. If you need it to test by, I'll get it imaged and formatted.

                        I would appreciate it.

                            Whenever, just wnat to diagnose the problem. I figure I can pick up a small 128gb SSD and that should solve the problem if you need the drive back.

                              Unless you're posting from a phone, take the suspected faulty hard drive, connect it to a working computer, and run manufacturer diags on it.
                              That'll tell you right away if the controller is bad or now.
