Laptop partition freezing

Hi guys,

I've got a fairly new Asus laptop that came as a 2 partitioned HDD (C and D). I use the D drive as video/music and some games storage only. My C drive works fine, the D however isn't responding and acting like it's got bad sectors or a virus on it. My computer had/has the svchost problem of taking up a huge chunk of resources to run it, but it's not malware because I've run the scans a million times and they come up clean. I just ran chkdsk and it came up clean as well. Not sure what to do because I can't even cut and paste the files onto an external HDD.
 
Does it hang if you do a surface scan or similar?

My roomate had a drive once that failed after a certain specific point in the capacity but otherwise worked OK on the outer edges of the platters.
 
I doesn't hang at all with any scans. I don't know the make and model but if it's like my last ASUS it comes with a WD HDD.
 
Open Computer, right click your C: drive and click properties. Click the Hardware tab. It should come up with a list of hard drives there. If it starts with WDC, it will be a Western Digital hard drive as you suggest.

Seagate, st9500325as. I know Seagate's have a higher failure rate...crap. No bad sectors though with a check disk.
 
Damn, it's still going. I've got a Long Generic Fail. It won't let me see the details though since it's still scanning I guess.
