I have a Compaq Persario CQ50 - 109CA which is indicating "imminent hard drive failure.

I have an app Compaq Persario CQ50 - 109CA, running on Windows Vista, which is indicating "Hard drive failure" imminent

I backed everything up.

I restarted the computer and started running the Hard Drive Self Test in the BIOS.  The quick test passed but 4 minutes in the next test, the computer will stop.  This has happened 4 times now.

I can restart normally, and the computer seems to work very well.

This means that the hard drive requires replacement indeed?

The sectors more means worse condition. My classmate has 134 of them and can not start at all. Buy a new hard drive.

Reallocated sectors count means that these areas cannot be used and the data is transferred to another area of the hard drive. This means a physical damage on the hard disk trays. The hard drive may be working again, but may also fail at any time completely...
