Modern hard drives have a built-in self-diagnosis system called SMART.
The corresponding Debian package is called "smartmontools". You can
install this package (or boot from a suitable live CD) and run
smartctl -a /dev/hdb | less
to retrieve the stored information. You can also run an extended
self-test with
smartctl --test=long /dev/hdb
Maybe that will give you an indication about the seriousness of the
problem.
I don't understand where the output from the long test goes... after
running test=long does that result get shown on the output from the -a report?
Anyway here's what I get:
