Hi All,

Now I have done a search on the web & if i read correctly this means the drive 
is faulty or on its way out.

I have checked in the machine cables etc seem ok. but the drive is brand new 
less than a month old. I have formatted the drive using reiserfs 160gig drive 
1 partition. 

Any ideas the drive is about 90%full obviously with it being a new drive i 
moved all my files on there until I have sorted where i want everything to 
go.
I was contemplating running fsck but dont want to kill the data...

Cheers

Dave
