Changing the PRAM battery might be a helpful solution, in this case. A severly weak PRAM battery can cause a whole host of performance problems, from file corruption to funky hardware behavior. This might also be a cheaper solution than a replacement HDD, and you're not really out anything to change the PRAM battery, if your problem does turn out to be a bad/non-existent HDD. In this case, either way you're simply "buying future performance insurance" by changing the battery.
