Hard Drive Failure

[Guest EliFoyle]

This morning I was playing a game on my laptop (Inspiron N5050) along with watching a video in the background, when I tried to close the game, computer started to get really lagging. For example the video stopped playing and buffering and then after about 15 minutes of waiting, my laptop shut down. Now when I try to restart it, it says "A disk read error occurred, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del To reRECOVERY" After reRECOVERY there are four symbols that aren't letters. When I go to boot options by pressing F12 and go down to Diagnostics it takes me through the blue screen, then through the tests, but when it reaches "Hard Drive 0" it doesn't pass the test. Everything else passes the tests except the hard drive. My computer hasn't been having any problems up until this please help!
