Hello Srockwell1207

Welcome to PCHF
What I would suggest doing is downloading Western Digital's hard drive diagnostic tool. It is a free diagnostic that will test the integrity of your hard drive.
Downloads
Download the Data Lifeguard Tools 11.2 for DOS (CD). Create a bootable CD with it and boot to the CD then run the diagnostic. It will tell you if your hard drive is failing.
Hope that helps!
