First I would check if it is just an error due to DMA activated. "hdparm
-i /dev/hdX" where X is the drive a, b, c, d, ... You can switch DMA
mode off and running that thing in PIO mode using "hdparm -d0 /dev/hdX".
If after that the errors disappear you have luck. If not, I fear your
drive is at end of lifetime.
