Given that there's nothing in AppleScript that will give you a message like
"Your hard drive appears to be damaged", something else must be producing
this.
In any case, though, regardless of WHAT is telling you this, have you
considered that there might actually be a problem with the drive and that
you should get it checked?
Apple's bundled disk utilities will give you a first-level analysis of your
disk. Products such as Norton's Disk Doctor or Tech Tool Pro will give
deeper analysis/repair.
