Hi

All of a sudden. I cannot open any folders, even after a restart if I try it just hangs for 5 minutes then opens a blank file explorer folder. I tried sfc /scannow but it freezes at 13% and check disk also freezes at 13%. I'm starting to think the hard drive has broken because now I'm getting bsod NTFS_file_system. If it is bad sectors would reinstalling fix problem or am I going to need to replace hard drive?

Thanks
