Have you already tried the following Sentinel function? If so, what did it report?
Quick Fix
Hard Disk Sentinel Professional 6.00 version introduced a new test: Disk menu Surface test -> Quick Fix. The purpose of the Quick Fix test is to (as described in the software when the appropriate test function selected):

Verify which area(s) of the disk drive reported problems and written recently then diagnose, repair specifically those (and nearby) sectors and critical system areas. The test forces the disk drive to repair any problematic (pending, weak) sectors: restore the status to good or reallocate (replace from spare area) if required to prevent further use of the original sector.
