Download the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic software. Run it. If
you really want to make sure you preserve your data, make an image of
the drive before you do ANYTHING else. Otherwise, have backups next time.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
