Sounds like a defective hard disk.

You'll need to have someone run some disk diagnostics to determine if the disk has bad sectors.

I usually use SpinRite. It's an invaluable tool for working on disk drives. If you can find someone with a copy I would get it and run it.

You can also purchase it but it costs $90: http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm

If all else fails you'll need to have a service shop have a look.
