    Download the drive manufacturers diagnostic tool this is probably the best at this point.
    You could always download http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
    this may be easier as it has the diagnostics for all brands of drive.
    It may even allow you to recover the drive or alternately give you the error codes for a warranty claim.
    Chkdsk has its limitations

    Pedro,

    What is the power like to your place? I'm not taliking about power surges but periods of low or fluctuating voltage or frequency.

    A very good investment is either a UPS or the cheaper alternative is a proper line conditioner (e.g APC Line-R 1200, about $120).

    One thing that will affect drives is poor power.

    This may not solve your immediate problem but I would recommend it if you don't already have a UPS.
