Default My E:/ Drive crashed; what now?

Hi
I had a C:/Drive, E:/ Logical drive/partion; the E:/ crashed (for what
reason I know not why; I did a nornal shutdown and when I rebotted it was
gone) I tried to reformat (long) and after reformatting to 100% it produced
an error message: could not complete reformat. I proceeded to do a quick
reformat and received the blue screen of death! My C:/ lost no data and works
fine. My question is: is there a way to check whats wrong with the E:/ so I
can reformat it and if I delete the E:/ do I have to reinstall XP and do a
reformat of the C:/? When I checked the disk management screen (just after
the crash) it showed the C:/ & E:/ as being healthy as it does now--whats
with this? XP home, 120 GB HD, 516 MB ROm the system has been up 1.5 years
and never had a problem. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.
