First run chkdsk /r which is included with all Windows. (Google for instructions.) Search online for the latest version of the factory diagnostic software for your brand of hard drive. Run all of the tests. Alternatively you can download Hiram's Boot CD which is self booting and contains all sorts of hard drive diagnostics in one package. Of the hundreds of computers that I have serviced, only once have I had a hard drive pass diagnostics and still be bad. Stress testing caught it however. Download and run StressMyPC. It tests other things but only stress one at a time. Stress test the hard drive over night. If it passes, consider it good.
