It's probably not a mechanical problem then. A Back Up and Reformat session seems to be all that's left.

how do i run a back up..?

 

[fixal0t]

start/all programs/accessories/system utilities/back up
if that isn't available:
start/mycomputer...right-click on drive to back up/properties/tools tab/backup button should be at the bottom, and it will usually start the wizard

the first one isnt available,
there is no back up button when i go to the tools tab...

and what will the back up actually back up, everything from the documents, files, music, drivers etc?
