Yes! I had a WD 1GB drive, during one check, one bad sector appeared, within 30 minutes, that had increased to around 400 bad sectors

I'm not sure if this means anything, but the mp3 is listed as LostSanctuaryJazz OC.m?3. So, what is a .m?3 file?

a .mp3 file that either lost its tag, got corrupted or was intentionally changed by someone for whatever reason.

I third the RMA if there are bad sectors.

sometimes the install program uses mp? or m?3 in the setup files to make it tougher for people to extract a specific files from the executable

open up a command prompt (start>Run>cmd) and type

Code:
chkdsk C: /R
Change "C:" to fit the drive if applicable. You'll probably need to reboot.
