Harddisk 0 is usually the C drive in Windows. That fact that you see the D seems to point to the flash drive though. You could download the diagnostic programs from the HD manufacturer and boot with that. It will scan the drive for bad blocks and possibly fix them. It's a free d/l.

I downloaded and ran the diagnostic program but checked good, it is only 9 months old, so was hoping it was not that, don't know how to check flash drive, will have to read up on it, thanks for the info to check my drive, which seems ok, I hope.
