    HD tune bad sector

     
    I have a a laptop hard drive (200gb) from fujitsu.

    Recently the hd has been making strange clicking noises (Louder and sharper than the regular seeking noise)

    I ran a hd tune error scan and found one bad sector.

    Is it the beginning of a failing hard drive?

    Yes.... Start backing up all your data and look into a new drive.
