A tad late but you can try running "smartctl -H /dev/sdX" or "smartctl -a
/dev/sdX" where /dev/sdX is your boot disk.  Chances are that it will only tell
you what you already know: the drive is dying.  I've had good luck with smartd
telling me when a disk is starting to fail.  Partition tables don't just
disappear on healthy hard drives.

Cheers,
Dave
