For a definitive check on the drive's health, test it with drive maker's diagnostic software for DOS which loads from a bootable CD.

WD drives: Link to CD image is here: http://www.smartestcomputing.us.com/topic/63494-looking-for-western-digital-data-lifeguard-iso/

Any other brand, use Hitachi DFT for DOS, CD Image here: https://www2.hgst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT

Use IMGBurn to create CD from the CD Image: http://www.filehippo.com/download_imgburn

Boot your laptop from the CD you made.
