Default Seagate drive check utility reports "errors in metadatea file records, other errors critical errors in metadata.."

After running a drive checking software from seagate, I got the
message that two of my drive - the primary drive and another logical
drive have:

"errors found in index"
"errors found in metadata file records"
"other errors found"


The other drive gave the following message:

"failed with critical errors"
"one or more errors found in metadata file records".

From browsing this matter I have some suspicion that Partition magic
(or my amateurish use of) may have been the reason.

Don't know but would like to. Since I fear drive failure or data loss
(although I am backed up of course - after seeing these I went out
finally and bought a dvd burner).

Any comments recommendations would be very much appreciated.
