Download a drive diagnostic from the hard drive mftr.'s website. You
will make a bootable cd (requires third-party burning software) with the
file you download. Boot the machine with the cd you made and do a
thorough test. If the drive fails any physical tests, replace it.
If this sounds like more than you want to do - and there is no shame in
admitting this sort of thing isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to
a professional computer repairs shop (not your local version of
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).
