good day
is this the error that you are getting "DST Short Test - 'Fail' - code 1000-0146" "msg: Unit 2: DST Log contains previous error"
tell me when this error appears is there a code that follows like the one ive given you above?
DST stands for "DRIVE SELF TEST"
so if it fails this test then it means that your HARD DRIVE is failing.

are you on XP and do you have the original disk with you, if so try this, it would detect and fix errors 
Boot to CD (settings to be changed in DOS mode to boot from CD DRIVE) (sometiems AMI BIOS has the option to hit F8 and it will prompt u where u want to boot from)
run win xp boot cd and access the recovery console... run chkdsk... hit y when it asks u to... another way of doing this is right click on ur hard drive and choose properties.. tools... scan disk, it would give you a message that the scan could not be done and would resume when windows restarts, click ok and choose both the options asking for complete scan .. itll then say that scan will be done when windows is restarted, click ok and restart your pc, it will automatically run the scan , detect errors and fix it ... :O)
