You may need to replace the hard drive in your Dell OptiPlex 745 if you've had the computer for several years. If you hear the hard drive clicking or data starts being corrupted, these are signs your hard drive should be replaced soon.
You will need to create a backup before doing anything with the hard drive. Without a backup of your hard drive, all your important data will be lost if it fails. So it's important not to wait before making this replacement. Before you get rid of the drive, it may be a good idea to destroy it so your data can't be recovered by someone else.
In addition, before beginning this repair, be sure to power off your computer and disconnect from the charger.
