Ensure valuable data has been backed-up. One option (assuming disk is faulty - have you done a full scan?) is to buy a new drive, image it, swap drives.

The machine has a DELL Service Tag written on the label. What is it?

what if the external drive fails.

who told you the internal drive was faulty, symptoms like that can be a windows corruption or driver or software problem - so a windows reinstallation would cure it

regardless a new hard disk is far cheaper than a laptop
