Is my Western Digital Mybook about to fail?

Hi, I noticed that one my my partitions didn't show up on my new (its been used for only 2 weeks) western digital My Book home edition didn't show up. I used Disk Utility to do a simple "Repair Drive", and that did the trick.

However, its been a bit noisy and its started to make a grinding sound. Time to replace, or am I just getting paranoid?
 
I should advise you contact WD (or your reseller) to be sure, but i sure would replace it as it seems to have a damaged surface (bad clusters) and that certainly is no good and WILL result in DATA LOSE.


Good luck, Kees
