Help with the most affordable solution

So recently my laptop has been freezing and everything stops responding, I reset everything and it didn't work that well (still happens from time to time). Ran multiple Trojan, malware and adware apps like Malwarebytes but found nothing. Turns out my disk is corrupted,http://imgur.com/a/BUTok
And I went to my local PC shop and they said it would cost me around 400$ to perform a diagnostic and fix test and a 2yr warrantee. So should I buy a new disk or go with the diagnostic test and 2yr warrantee? If I should buy a new disk please link me how to install it by myself or if I should let a shop do it.
Thanks!

First, lets find out how you plan to reinstall the Operating System. Do you have backups you can restore, Made your factory disks when you got the laptop, or own your own copy of windows?

If yes to any of the above then just replace the HDD yourself. 500gb drive are around $50 here with 1tb going from about $80 to 120.( but for about that price you can get a 480-500 gb SSD for just a bit more)

Using a USB that has the Windows Media Creation tool then use that for the new SSD I'm getting
