When I do a Chkdsk it says repairs need to be done, but this seem to say otherwise? I assume I just don't understand it. I also noticed it says C: drive but this was performed on the D: drive. I checked the C: drive and it is fine.

I understand you dont have access to the computer, but any idea what could have caused it? general wear and tear or something more specific?
 
There's really no rule. A HDD can last for years and it can die within a few months. It all depends on luck. Of course if the computer hasn't been banged on or kicked or if it hasn't fallen or something similar.
