Fine, but consider shopping for a new harddrive ASAP, and imaging the old
one before it's too late.
Once bad sectors show up in windows chkdsk, the drives internal remapping
range may already be full - which indicates EOL for your drive, and also
explains why you noticed a overall slowdown.
Run some S.M.A.R.T monitoring tool or at least the drive manufacturers
testing tool from the homepage.
