How to replace failing internal hard disk

[Dantzeil]

My hard disk is failing soon and i wanna solve the problem before it becomes completely dead. So here are my questions..

1. Is replacing a hard disk difficult? or is it noob-friendly? If possible I would of course prefer to do it by myself instead of asking someone else.

2. When i put in the new hdd, do i have to copy over all my stuff and even the os from the old hdd into the new one so that it would seem like nothing has changed? Or can i like connect both to my mobo and just use both until the old one dies?

Please help this bro out here thanks

get a software to clone your old hdd to your new hdd...

format the old ones and can used already...dont store important stuffs inside since it going 'died' soon

changing is easy...especially if u have SATA Hdd... need a spare sata cable and power cable and extra SATA connection in your motherboard if u are recycling your hdd

same goes for if u are using IDE hdd...that one difficult find now...

Oh I see. How do i clone the old into the new? Do i have to connect both to the motherboard to do that?

And do those cables come along with the new one? Im pretty sure mine is SATA. Thanks man
