I would suggest burning all your data to cd or copying it to another drive if you really need it, i doubt your drive will last 5 days (although it could) and not using it doesn't always help as shutting down the computer, and letting the components cool down will cause the drive to seize and you won't be able to read anything off of it.
Actually I just had both a maxtor and a seagate (within a year of each other) die recently in my computer, the maxtor was 40g and the seagate was 80g, IBM was good for awhile, but then they had a bad batch, WD had a bad batch awhile ago, but seem to be okay now.
