Hey All, First want to start of by saying I'm new to the fourms and this is my first post.

I Recently acquired a Latitude E6410 with no hard drive. So i picked out a what i believe was OK hard drive from a slightly older laptop and installed windows and etc. However later in use i have noticed That the system was a little sluggish. So thinking its the RAM, I increased it from 2 to 4 GBs. Noticed the system was still sluggish expect for a small increase of speed so i decided to install HD Tune Pro 5.50 and see what it says. Immediately i noticed that the drive had "failed" Due to the Airflow Temperature, and one warning for 1 Spin Retry Count. Thinking of this as "Odd" and remembering that a hard drive in my desktop had the same failure but still works just fine, i ran a test with crystaldiskinfo. That Showed the hard drive health as being "Good"

So did my hard drive actually "Fail" like HD Tune says it did? I'm usually the "Tech guru" and know my stuff, but this has really baffled me and i could really use some Input from Others.

Also, Hope it was fine to include those images, like i said i am new here.

Do a surface scan to see how it is. Use HDDScan.

I got HDDScan and did a surface scan. It took longer then i would've imagined and ran HD tune again. This time a new warning came up. Unstable Sectors. Looks like the Hard drive is bad after all. Sucks too. Don't think i have anymore spare laptop hard drive i could use.

Thank you for the replies.
