Default Help ! C partition keeps vanishing

I'm posting this question all over wherever potential PC help hangs around.

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever run accross this before because I've never encountered anything like it.
My laptop has one hard drive in two partitions. C and D (D is the restore partition).
My laptop was running fine, and then.. blue screen of death out of the blue.
Laptop wouldn't boot. It kept giving me read errors.
I used a diagnostic filled boot disk that I have and the C partition was unrecognized. It read the D partition fine.
I then did a reformat and system restore of the whole thing using the computer's restore disks.
The computer started up fine and everything was wonderful after the restore. Everything worked like a dream.
Then, later on, the same thing happens but with no blue screen. I then get a repeat of the above.
Does this mean that it's time to go shopping for a new hard drive or is there another issue I may be overlooking ?
