Errors and warnings from event viewer

[DavidJ726]

I've been experiencing problems with my PC involving the HD light on the
front of the tower staying on longer than normal, followed by the PC
completely freezing up. I looked at the event log and am seeing several
different warning & errors which makes me 99% sure the D:\ drive is failing
(a Maxtor that's less than 2 years old). Based on the descriptions below,
would any of the experts here disagree?

Also, are there other (better / different) tools I'm not aware of that's
similar to the event viewer?

Thanks,

David...
