Errors and warnings from event viewer

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I've been experiencing problems with my PC involving the HD light on the
front of the tower staying on longer than normal, followed by the PC
completely freezing up. I looked at the event log and am seeing several
different warning & errors which makes me 99% sure the D:\ drive is failing
(a Maxtor that's less than 2 years old). Based on the descriptions below,
would any of the experts here disagree?

Also, are there other (better / different) tools I'm not aware of that's
similar to the event viewer?

Thanks,

David...
