Okay so my PC just got messed up. It turns out that the 2nd HDD (the one were I recently installed Ubuntu) was bad so I just had to recover the vista boot loader. What are some Hardrive maintenance and error avoidance tools? Right now Im using TuneUp Utilities 08 to defrag,check for errors, recover readable data from bad sectors and Active SMART to monitor HDD temp,errors and changes to Disk in general. Are there any other tools I should be using?

You're pretty good for HDD maintenance. I would just make sure your other parts don't fail ;) .
