Hi again,
I attach the complete report from smartctl.

Hopefully this one gives some meaning.  Thanks in advance.

Hi again, the reason the test does not complete may be that it only test the linux partition (16+GB) and not the whole HD (30GB)?

[truls@localhost ~]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3              16G  9.4G  5.0G  66% /
/dev/hda2             101M   12M   84M  13% /boot
none                  189M     0  189M   0% /dev/shm
[truls@localhost ~]$

Will I fix the problem if I backup /home, reformat the Linux partion and do fresh installation of FC3? This might be a good thing to do anyway?

If I do this, how do I read the /home back from the CD keeping permissions avoiding all files and directories to be "read only"?

thanks and regards,
Truls
