    I am not sure what free disk diagnostic programs are available, but I
    have used Steve Gibson's 'SpinRite' < http://grc.com > with great
    success in the past. If there is something wrong with the disk or
    controller, it will find it. Just run it at the highest level, level 5
    I believe.
