If you suspect a failing hard drive, the best course of action is to run a disk diagnostic tool. Windows has built-in tools (like `chkdsk`) and various third-party options. If the diagnostic tool reports errors, back up your data immediately and consider replacing the hard drive. Running Tally Prime on a failing drive can lead to data loss and further system instability.
