Failing drive?

I'm having occasional trouble with a Drive. During initial boot, as the drive info is read, the disk I/D is sometimes read incorrectly, and in the past when this has happened I have finished up with a corrupt disk from which I could not boot and which had an 'unecognisable' format.

Since then, OS (W2000/XP dual boot) has been moved onto other drives, but can anyone tell me what could be causing this? Is it likely to be a bios problem/CMOS battery or just a drive needing to go out grass?
