Are you sure it was a faulty drive? I had a similar experience where it got to having to reinstall windows every week, but switching to Linux fixed it.
Best I can tell it was a mandatory windows update clashing with some of the hardware I had.
I didn’t know what a faulty hard drive sounded like at that time. Sticks with you. But I was playing around with NT5 betas anyway, so it turned out not to be a huge deal.
