I don't think you understood what i meant by "physical". I referring to sector damage due to , for example, heat. This could be due to the extended contact between head and the drive, thus heat is generated due to friction. As hard drives are extremely heat sensitive, they tend to get damaged over a period of time, thus corrupting the sectors.
HD will still run ofc, but will eventually die....a slow and painful death.
I second Mirch bhai in buying a new one... start copying your important stuff over to somewhere safe
