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.

Every time I scan my disks (partitions) for errors, more of these
types of errors are found:
Cleaning up 928 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 928 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 928 unused security descriptors.
This applies to all 4 of my partitions on one disk, plus 2 partitions
on another disk when it is connected.
CHKDSK may be fixing stuff, but the problems keep arising! What on
earth is going on?
What do these security descriptors do? Do they have anything to do
with my not using Simple File Sharing?
For those of you who haven't seen these messages before, these are
generated when scanning the partitions at boot time, and the logs are
viewed with Event Viewer under Application with the Source
"Winlogon". (Event Viewer is found by going to My Computer \ Manage
\ Computer Management \ System Tools \ Event Viewer.)
Also of interest in Event Viewer under System are entries with the
Source "disk".
In the last 10 days, I've seen:
The device, \Device\Harddisk3\D, has a bad block. 10 times and
The device, \Device\Harddisk4\D, has a bad block. 1 time.
This is really disconcerting. I have used various disk testing
programs, many running from boot floppy disks, and these haven't been
able to fault the hardware, only the NTFS File System.
I'm running Windows XP Professional with SP2, fully patched.
I've also tried running System File Checker (sfc /scannow) to try to
ensure that the operating system's files haven't become corrupted.
Gerry has already shown me that the problem isn't related to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/831374/en-us
because each of my partitions doesn't have more than 4,194,303 files,
or a master file table larger than 4 gigabytes (GB).
I hate not being able to trust nor fix my file system. I'm hoping I
don't need to trash the whole installation and start from scratch.
I'm out of ideas. Any help?
