I am getting a hard disk error similar to one I saw on a old community page.  It was an old post but it seemed to fit my old, no very old desktop.  I am pulling files off so I can use my newer micro form factor that my wife recweived from a co-worker at her work.  How much time do I have before it goes bye-bye or could i put it in an external hard drive box and read it from there?  Enquiring minds need to know.  Yes I know it is old and yes I should have done this earlier.  I was going to up load files to Google Drive or One Drive.
