Recently I've been having problems with the hard disk on my laptop, and I don't have 200USD to buy a new one. Sometimes the system halts when reading a file, and the disk does a weird sound. I have my backups and if it fails completely I'll be safe.
The problem is going from bad to worse, now I'm having KERNEL_INPAGE_ERROR BSODs, and the modules failing are always related to the disk, I assume it is a problem with the disk and the swap file. I hope I'm right
So now I disabled it, is it really that bad to not have a swap file? the puter has 512MB of RAM and I rarely use that much.

specs:
512MB of RAM
40GB seagate disk
p4 2.4GHz
