There is a package called smartmontools that will check the drive for disk degradation and failure using the SMART system:
There is also a command called "fsck" that will check your disk file system for error's but that is run at boot and should indicate errors on bootup.Code:sudo apt-get install smartmontools

Dual Boot | Compiz-Check | Partitioning | Compiz Plugins | bash_aliases | Installing nvidia drivers | using dd
| gparted live cd | Google cheat sheet | Unix/Linux cheatsheet | intrepid 8.10 live cd | Uninstall Ubuntu
each hard disk manufacturer provides their own tools to do error checking usually bootable CD/floppy image. if you think you may have a problem with your hard disk, you should run their tests.
for example Western Digital has their Lifeguard data tools:

It's not anything in my system, it's my blackberry.
Would smartmontools work for checking my blackberry?
No smartmontools will not work in this case. For this case, see this Re: Check Disk on SD/MicroSD Card?
