No, I did mention it earlier. The waiting to see a person after 
checking was long (30 minutes!) in the crowded store. It was confirmed 
that the HDD was going bad with its SMART status. Everything else seems 
to work even after the drive swap too. Also, it would have been free, 
but my client still want them to have the drive even if he had to pay 
for it. :(
