First of all check the Event Viewer (Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer)
In there it will give you a plethora of wonderful good and bad "things" going on in your computer. To make it easier, just look for red or yellow icon'd items. If at all possible provide a screenshot of them. (Mainly the system tab will show Harddisk related errors).
Of course backup all important files, and this should be done even if you dont have any problems happening. The phrase "Shit happens" is all to true in computers. I've had 2 harddrives die within a week that were completly independent of each other.
If you know what brand the harddisk are, or have tools from Hp/compaq that can check for actual hardisk related issues, that would be a great place to start. Western digital and Maxtor both provide great tools.
Other then that have you installed any recent hardware at all? Software?
