I would try HD Tune (freeware).
Download and run it and see what it turns up.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive
letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to Clipboard )
and copy into a further message.

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy
to Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Also do a full surface
scan with HD Tune.

Hope this helps.

For a little while now I have had 2 errors showing a bad block each time
I start the computer for that day.
I ran chkdsk /f a week ago and it found an error and fixed it, I have
since run it and it finds no errors.
On the 30th June I looked at tne Event Viewer and found 346 consecutive
errors all with the same problem "Bad block on Harddisk 0"
Is this likely to be a true error?
I have not shut down since then as I fear the computer may not restart.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
