Dell N5050 laptop with Windows 7 os shows warning to change hard disk.
I tried re installing the os , it took some time to get it installed , the problem still exists .
Even the windows installation setup warned that windows cannot install in this drive.

I couldn't find any software which will show bad sectors - tried some apps , it shows some graphs , nothing to read.

It's the same

My question is if I change the hard disk, is it gonna fix the issue ?
Shod I use ghost or fresh install in new hard disk ?

download crystaldiskinfo free portable zip edition(no need to install).run it & post the screenshot of values here(use imgur,not forum attachment function which is broken).
