Ok. One day when booting up I suddenly got this:

Code:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 {UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=68662002,
 sector=44564520
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:04 (hda), sector 44564520
EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,4)): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to
 read inode block - inode=277981, block=5570565
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=38257405,
 sector=14159904
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:04 (hda), sector 14159904
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/rc"
...


And now my machine can't boot.
I'm really no expert at some of the finer points of unix, like disk care or fsck. I tried a run or two but exited out when i saw that after a certain point it was reporting every second sectorr as damaged and i had no ide wheather it was damaging the hard drive as it went along or not

I really don't know what to do if anything

time to get a new hard drive?

Check out this post and afterwards in the thread. Also as mentioned in the thread there are many accounts of this type of error in the forums. I strongly suggesting searching and reading many of them.
