Backup now before it's too late, you can never know whether if it can survive on next boot or not.
send for repair, hard drive is not something that normal ppl can repair... unless you are very experienced.

Not sure if any of the harddisk recovery companies in Malaysia would actually repair problem HDD. You could try speaking to them. Their services will not come cheap. Search for "harddisk recovery Malaysia" in Google.

If BIOS and OS can still see the HDD then there is a chance to still recover the data on your own. First you must know the SMART status of the HDD. Assuming that you run Windows on your machine, head to the following link to download CrystalDiskInfo, run it on your problem HDD and post the result here in the forum.

Hi

Thought you have RMA'ed the HDD and decided not to try anything on it.

Anyway problem could be due to HDD surface or R/W heads. In anyway, you should try to backup the data from the HDD using tools like PhotoRec on Hiren BootCD for the most damaged/stubborn files to get off the HDD. RMA is your easiest way rather than wasting time trying to low-level format etc. Just tell them the performance suffers too much to be any use for you.

Rgds,

Sorry to hear bout that. I hope you managed to get all your data.

Anyway, the first thing I would do is to confirm if it's surface related problem. Download HDTune free at http://www.hdtune.com/download.html and run the Error Scan function.

Read the FAQ here http://www.hdtune.com/faq_1.html

If problem is related to surface damage, you can run a chkdsk command from the Windows Bootup DVD -> Windows Repair command prompt. The command is "chkdsk /r /x". Windows will check on each HDD sector and mark the damaged sector.
