If you do not have a backup of your data, it up now. You do not need
to backup the /boot partition, as it is easy to re-create. Once you
have a backup of the data, download ether the disk diagnostics from
the drive manufacturer's web site of the Ultimate Boot CD from
http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ and run diagnostics on the drive to
see how bad it is. But chances are you are looking at replacing the
drive. (Unless relocating bad sectors is turned off on the drive -
you may be able to keep using the drive if it is only one bad
sector, and it can remap it.)

You may also want to see if SMART is turned on for the drive, and
see what it reports.
