Crash

So the HDD on my MacBook Pro crashed (I think). Four days onto 2012 and it suddenly decided to die. It acted slow during boot that took forever for the desktop to load. And once loaded, just by starting Google Chrome, it freezes up. The next few times I rebooted, it never left the gray Apple logo screen. :(

I tried to troubleshoot it via Safe Boot but to no avail. It said that there was a media missing. So did the reseting of the PRAM/NVRAM.

I'll be heading to the Apple Store today so that expert hands can fix my computer. Good thing I have AppleCare!
