If you are getting such warnings, the first thing you should do is be sure
the hard drive isn't failing. If you don't have the disk supplied with your
hard drive, go to the hard drive manufacturer's website and download their
tools, making note of their instructions for creating their tools floppy.
Boot from the floppy and run a diagnostic of your hard drive to be sure it
isn't failing.
