Might be worth running checkdisk just to be on the safe side?
@Jerad2142
A drive developing bad clusters regularly is often a sign that the drive is on it's last legs and is going to completely die at some point in the near future. If it was me I would have made sure to get up-to-date backups of everything on the drive and look into replacing it ASAP. Then again, some drives can develop loads of bad sectors yet be otherwise perfectly healthy... but there's no point taking risks with your data!
Oh, and if you had run checkdisk it should have flagged the sectors as bad and avoided writing to them in future anyway. No need to leave the damaged files in the filesystem.
