I got one of these bluescreens a month ago, and with a little poking around saw that it was to do with the ntfs file system (ulp!) So spend the night running a disk check to repair things, and it found no problems, so I thought nothing more. But I've just had another one, which is now worrying me a little.

Checking in the event viewer, it says:

The file system structure on volume C: has now been repaired.

Checking the SMART for the C: drive, everything is at 100% status except the spinup time which is 75%, giving it a health of 75% (Better than two of my other ones which ate both 59% due to 'raw read error rate' whatever that means.

Anyway, Vista seems to have repaired whatever happened... but given its happened twice now, could this be a sign that the hard drive may be on the way out? Is there anything I can do besides buying a new one? I was hoping to hold out until October, then buy a new one to stick Windows 7 on, and run the vista drive alongside as a backup OS, and to store data, but is this not going to be possible now?
I've got crash dumps if they'll be any help.

I wouldnt trust any of them to be honest, what models are they and how old are they?

If you have important data back it up ASAP

I've got 4 hard drives in total; a 250Gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10, showing 59% health
A 400Gb Seagate Barracude 7200.9, also slowing 59% health
And two 1Tb Samsung spinpoint F1 drives, showing 75 and 76% each, one of which is my C:

I'm using This to see their SMART scores, is there a better tool I should use to check?

And none of the data on there is super vital, but I may get that new hard drive sooner rather than later, use it to store things on until 7 comes out, then shift it all onto one of those older drives, then copy it back after install.
Anyone know if there's better tests to check for a drive on its way out?

You aren't overclocking are you?

I was getting tons of BSOD's (including the 024 one) due to file corruption, and I was blaming Vista and was worrying it might be my SSD's. But they continued with Windows 7 until I went back to default settings (non-overclocked). It's been perfectly stable for a couple of weeks now. Before it was crashing upto 5 times a day!

I'm overclocked from 2.4 to 3.4Ghz, though its been at this speed for just over a year now. I'll try toning it down a little though, see if that helps.
