B4 doing anything else, backup ur important data.

still the prob may be der. For total HDD checkup use "chkdsk <drive> /r"

Using the option '/r' will scan all the sectors(used+free) of ur HDD and will also check for bad sectors , partition table integrity , mis-reported free space , and will try to recover corrupt data.
