HDD making clicking noise

All drives fail; it is only a question of when your drive will fail. If the data is important to you, you make backups.
any utility you think would be best to make system image and restoring the same to the new replacement hdd??
I use and recommend acronis true image. There are free programs available however IMO acronis is far superior to the free ones. The only free imaging program I use is clonezilla which is linux based AND not the easiest thing to use however it is very reliable and has never failed to restore an image for me.
 
BTW if you are going to replace the drive, go with a quality drive like a WD black drive. Those are much better quality than a toshiba drive.
 
Clicking hard drives are never good. If you intend a wait and see approach make sure you have a backup. As the laptop is 2 years old an ssd would help speed it up a bit. Samsung evo drives are worth a look.

It is not a laptop however a ssd would help his desktop.
