Lee, back up all important data now or you might not have it at all very
quickly. To help save the drive for enough time to save your data you
should get Spin Rite 5 http://grc.com/spinrite.htm as it is excellent at
saving failing drives and recovering data. Remember that since you are
experiencing so many errors so quickly your best option is to just replace
the drive altogether, new drives are priced so low presently that this is
the most convenient option available.
