Hard Disk Detects imenent failure

I had the samething happen to me and I had to reinstall XP as a parallel install. Then you still have access to all the file on the first install.

I ran a disk cleanup and it came back with "Hard disk detects imenent failure" but it would finish booting up if you pushe"F1" as instructed. After about a month of getting this message it finally just stopped booting up. I put in a new hard drive and put XP on the drive for the operating system since I didn't have a Me disk. It loaded fine and ran for a couple of bootups and then it started giving the same message " hard disk detects imenent failure" so could someone tell me if the motherboard is shot or is this system just able to use XP. Thanks in advance!
