But thanks for the heads up.

I do a regular backup of my data but a hd failure isn't something I am looking forward to.
Find a utility that will readout your drives S.M.A.R.T. status (the Ubuntu Live CD (System| Administration| Disk Utilities)can do this without changes to your system.)
If failure is immanent, clone the drive (software is included in most 'Retail' Drive packages) and slip in the replacement before it get painful
