A while ago my computer's hard drive started to stop opening the disk tray but I can still access to files on that hard disk drive. Later, I had to reboot my computer because it froze and now it says it cant find its primary drive or something (It said something else about reading error) and later it says I need to insert disk to install new operating system. I asked someone to see what is wrong but said I somehow broke the hard drive. I use computer to play video games and do some school papers but I don't know how its possible for me to break it. Does any one have any advice on how to fix this?

Do a test with MHDD, to see if the drive is healthy,
