error performing Inpage operation

J

I have a 3yr old hard disk in a Compaq EN P3 450 machine.

There is one folder on an NTFS partition that when I try to read its
contents it says:
"error performing Inpage operation"

If I run chkdsk on this drive I get:

File record segment 12.. unreadable.

When the PC boots up now I also get a message 1720-SMART hardrive failure
imminent.

Anything that can be done here? or is this drive destined for the bin? I
guess I could get a new drive re-install 2000 and just bring the data acroos
as i need it till the drive just goes.



Thanks,

The smart reports are usually reliable, You could check yr hd manu.site for
a checking utility, these sometimes help, however they only put off the
inevitable.
