No
On the contrary it is quite possible that you are having to continually re-install Windows because the hard drive is faulty.
Beware that bad sectors mean your hard drive's life is probably shorter rather than longer.
As usual ensure you backup your important data and frequently and I would look into getting a new hard drive. There is one thing worse than losing data; losing data after ignoring a warning that the loss was imminant.
If you can, go to your hard drive manufacturer's web site find their disagnostic software. Run this over the hard drive and it will give you enough information to determine the health of the drive.
Look out for SMART information also.

Most hard drives have a self-monitoing system acronymed SMART. If it's not on, turn it on in BIOS and you can watch for any issues when the system reboots.

No it does not. But to ensure that you don't encounter any file corruption be sure to format the drive every time you reinstall.
If you still have issues there maybe something physically wrong with the drive; try contacting the manufacturer.
