Hard river noises and problems

[jojo]

Hi All,

Recently my machine has started being very slow on
startup. I hear the hard drive working, making a set of
4 clicking sounds over and over again. I check Event
Viewer and see the message below. Any advice on how to
handle this problem. I can't run check disk because it
failes on 2% completed-

The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

Thanks in advance for any help

Your hard drive is starting to get hardware failures. Backup any important
files and get a replacment hard drive.

Try running "chkdsk /f" from dos.
