It's a Maxtor, so I am not surprised it is crapping out after 2-3 years.

The only way that I am familiar with to test the fitness of your hard drive is to use a program that implements "S.M.A.R.T. Technology," which is a built-in system that checks the integrity of the hard drive. Its scope is rather limited, but it might pick something up in this case. Also, not all hard drives have that system installed, but that feature is becoming more and more of a standard addition.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
