hard drive failing?

[zeiter]

disk utilty always says my hard drive needs to be repair inserting the mac os x cd......even though I do it and check back, it still says the same thing...like it's never repairing itself is my hard drive going to fail?

My computer feels laggy...on chrome, flash videos lag etc...

My computer: MBP 2.4ghz (peryn silver keys) 2gig ram 200gb 5400rpm hard drive fujitsu ..122gb available...don't even use half of it..

thanks

no it doesn't, but it's like loading a webpage is slow and it's not my internet connection because on the pc desktop, it's smooth and fast...

Sorry if this seems obvious, but after inserting the mac os x DVD, do you actually reboot to the DVD and run the repair disk command?
