Does this sound like the hdd is going bad?

I was working with a computer that is rarely used but for a type of server. I use it as part of my whole house audio and to store some videos and music plus some other things. I was working with it a little when it just slowed down to slower than a crawl. I had to do a hard reset. When I started it back up (or tried) it looked like it started but when I came back the screen was black. I restarted again and it would go through the windows logo but only to a black screen. I tried again and again but to no avail. I then tried to boot into safe mode but it would not happen. I shut it down and turned off all power. I pushed the power button to release any current that was left. I restarted and it is now running. What does it sound like to anyone.

It could be your HDD. But If it was that sick I would have thought it would have Blue Screened. Open your Event Viewer in Admin Tools and see under system what has gone wrong. Usually marked with a red X

I went to event viewer and for the time it was having problems it says [IMG]file:///C:/Users/SCOTTA%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-7.jpg[/IMG]warning and then disk 8 times. One says ftdisk and another say hidBth. What is your take on that?
