A laptop hard drive that develops a problem will likely cause the laptop itself to crash or freeze unexpectedly. This is usually down to bad sectors, or in particular the area of the hard drive known as the boot sector (where the operating system is stored). Bad sectors will usually result in the steady degradation of the hard drive itself despite using software to resolve the issue. Using software to relocate data from one area to another of a disk may keep the data safe but it will not stop the spread of the bad sectors.
