Check to see if the laptop manufacture has an Update on HDD firmware. If not find out what HDD brand it is and then check there site for any Firmware update.
If there isn't look into the forums and see if there is anyone with similar issues to you.
Lasty if there is warranty then RMA it.
If no warranty. Backup the D:\ partition of your restore files to and external HDD or DVD
Buy a new HDD and make a partition identical to your old one and copy back the backup files.
Then do the restore process.. Goodluck..
