scanner flaking out

Recently, when I scan, I'm often missing a piece of the page.  I notice
that this happens when the disk drive is also busy doing something else,
like a backup.

I don't remember this happening until the last couple of weeks.  Do you
think:

        My scanner is dying

        My disk drive is dying

        I'm just scanning and/or backing up more often

I'm most concerned about the second possibility -- I would want to do
something about the drive before it died.  If the scanner died, I could
usually either wait or convince someone else to do it for me.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but I know
that World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
