Yes, everything on C drive would be gone its probably gone because the hard drive is failing you would go on amazon buy a laptop hard drive https://www.amazon.com/Black-750GB-Performance-Mobile-Drive/dp/B00DSUTX3O/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1459563895&sr=1-3&keywords=laptop+hard+drive

Okay thanks for the help. I'll see what I can do.

Compton, if you find the time, could you look for a hard drive like that but on amazon.ca? It'd be best if you looked for the right one.

ok sure what your price range?

**Zacharias** · 04-02-2016, 12:06 AM

Hopefully anything below $100. Preferably near half of that. Just like that other one you sent.

I've just purchased a drive and I have received a disk with Windows 8.1 on it. Is there any tutorial that you recommend? Specifically for my laptop (VAIO) with this hard drive?

Do I really need to unscrew every part of my laptop? Isn't it just the hard drive part?

Oh wait never mind. You just were showing me the hard drive part. Disregard my last comment.

In the first link, the hard drive is in the top right.
