Hard Disk Corruption After Fail Hibernate Wakeup

I have a notebook with 250 GB HDD (WD WD2500BEVS : WD Scorpio Blue)
dual boot XP and Ubuntu.

Just before the weekend I try to boot up the notebook to discover that
it has gone into hibernation. The boot proceed to the point it says
that wakeup from hibernation fail and give me the option to delete the
data and start fresh.

It doesn't boot up after that and being a dual boot notebook. It fails
at Grub boot loader.

So I decide to start fresh and have done bellow:

1. Try to install Ubuntu without formating existing partition.
2. Try to install Ubuntu after formating Linux partition, leaving
windows partition intact.
3. Got fed up, format the entire hard disk, start from fresh and try
to install Ubuntu.
4. Try to reinstall Windows XP SP2.

Install failure is having same symptom. Ubuntu, halfway through the
installation, either it can't write or can't format partition.
Windows installer it manage to format the partition upto 100% and then
simply claim unable to format partition and then quit because can not
proceed with installation. Trying to install without formating the
partition will simply cause the installer to say that it can not use
the partition.

I have test the hard disk with WD diagnostic tools - Data Lifeguard
Diagnostic for DS (CD). Both Quick and Comprehensive test pass! I
have even zeroes the hard disk.

The notebook is still under warranty (age ~= 8 mth). But I do need to
justify if it is hard disk corruption. The problem now is that
diagnostic software from HDD manufacturer pass the disk. And
personally I don't think the hard disk is broken because I can create
and write partition using gparted (Linux partition tool) and the
manufacturer tool can zeroes the hard disk successfully.

Anyone face this before? Any Idea how to proceed?

TIA


Notes: I don't use the notebook much. Mostly once or twice a week to
check emails.
