Sounds to me like your hard drive might be getting ready to fail.

Take a look at this thread HERE for info on bad sectors.

I suggest you download and run your hard drive manufacturers diagnostic utility.

If you can`t find it, take a look at this thread HERE.

What make is it?

Some of the Diagnostic tools offered by Seagate etc will attempt to fix bad sectors {all it does is note not to read or write from them}

It won't fix it so it's useable again, but may help you to transfer your data to another drive.

Generally when there's bad sectors, the drive is on it's last legs.

Beaten to it by Howard!
