Thanks everybody for your replies!
It appears there is no black or white answer.
The drive is about three years old so there is no waranty. It was just the data drive on my backup computer, most of which also exists on my show computer so nothing was ireplaceable. I do use it for bumper music between karaoke songs so losing it would be an annoyance but not a disaster. I've since backed everything up to an external drive. When it occured I had just dumped about a thousand avi files on to it and played a few with Hoster to make sure they were ok, and they were, and then proceeded to defrag the drives when the problem occured. Ironicly all of the "orphaned" files chkdsk reported were many of the avi I had just put on.
I was just hoping I wouldn't have to dump a perfectly good 160gb drive, although it appears to be working fine again I guess I'll make plans to replace it.
Thanks again everybody.
Sam
