I'm sorry, it's not totally clear to me what you mean by "trashed disk." If I use a disk utility, what am I looking for? Some sort of corruption of the actual hard drive? Are you saying my hard drive itself might be compromised and need replacement?
I think it *might* be damaged. One cannot be sure without exercising it with a utility designed to discover such problems. If it is damaged it will need to be repaired if possible so you can recover data before it gets lost. I have used Spinwrite for this in the past successfully.
On the other hand if you have a backup you might be quite relaxed if whatever utility you choose actually does report a bad disk.
I'm basing this on your earlier comment that you didn't empty the directory yourself and it is taking a long time to display. An empty directory should display pretty promptly.
