Maybe.  What does smartctl say?  Check the attributes, run an extended 
test and see if it fails.  If it is consistently complaining, get a 
bootable tool diskette from your HD's manufacturer, and run the included 
test.  If your disk is still under warranty (1 or 3 years since 
purchased), they will replace it for you.
