If your drive is failing, there is no help; just strong advice to back up any data on the ailing drive that you don't want to lose... now! Depending on how much data there is, you should be thinking about an external backup drive or maybe just a thumb drive. Of course, you should be doing this even if the drive is not getting ready to fail.
 
I've been meaning to ask the "Forum" for recommend disk diagnostic software....
