How to avoid warning messages at boot?

Some tracks of the current hard disk which I use are corrupt and I get a warning message, at boot time, that the hard disk is about to crash with an escape button "F2". I continue to use the system and so far(about three months), I have had no problem. What is the solution?

The operating environment is a Pentium 4 processor with Windows XP, Professional edition.

The warning messages are there for a reason, your hard drive is probably failing. I'd guess your computer is at least 3 years old, and maybe 5 - which is the time some hard drives start to fail. Buy a new drive and clone the data onto it with a utility like Norton Ghost.
