What is wrong with my Sony VAIO? Disk drive or battery? What should I do?

I have a Sony VAIO laptop, model VGN FS730 / W, which is only about 18 months. In recent weeks it has slowed significantly, especially visible during boot, the closure and Internet browsing. I very rarely go out and about – most of the time, he sits on my desk. I also noticed the AC minutes not bad in the hot zone (but not intolerable to be on my bare knees) and the sheet itself does not connect properly / more. What's wrong? Manager Device shows no cries indicating driver problems. To aid quick email from Sony said that I may need a new hard drive (260 $ From them). Is it difficult to install myself? Can I get a better deal elsewhere? What about the plug-in power? I live in Atlanta. Any places I can go take it and be correct or at least it would be greatly appreciated diagnosis. Cost estimates would be great too. Thank you! Also, I ran multiple security and anti-spyware/virus programs. System is clean.
