  I have a 386/40 with 100mb HD.  Recently, my HD is acting really weird.  Ususally after or during, big programs like win 3.0 or MS word for Win, many of 
my files get truncated and cross-linked.  Just two days ago, I found out that
my FAT was ruined.  I had to use NDD to fix most of the problems but still
much of my data are lost.  

Weird symptom I noticed.  When the HD is reading/writing, it sometimes pauses
but the HD light is still on.  It pauses for about 10-20 seconds then starts
reading/writing again.  Often after that happens, most of my files gets 
corrupted.  However, this has happened before and never did anything 
until last week.  I still have my warranty should I get a new HD??
