Default Imminent Hard Drive failure on an ACER Aspire 3000?

Hi,

I bought this notebook brand new 6 months ago. It's an ACER Aspire
3003WLCi. Recently I've had a lot of problems with applications "not
responding" and having to be closed. Upon reboot recently i'm getting the
message that one of my hard disks needs to be checked for conisistency. It
does a checkup of the disk (takes a long time) and then it reports that
"Windows replaced bad clusters in file .... " Does this mean that my hard
drive is failing (has failed?) and needs to be rebuilt/replaced? Should I
contact ACER about this problem (I think I have 1 year warranty on the
machine.)

Thanks.
