Loss of Files.... A Hard Drive Problem?

When I tried to save a document that I made a couple of changes on while
working in Microsoft Word, I got the following messages:

"Unrecoverable disk error on file ~WRL1246.tmp. The disk you are working on
has a media problem that prevents Word from using it."

Also: "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error."

Since I also lost the file in its entirety (it had previously been
successfully saved) I am guessing that these messages mean that I have a hard
drive problem and probably need to replace it. I'd appreciate input from
anyone that has experienced this problem. Please let me know what you think.
Thank you. Marty
