The suggestion made earlier to backup data certainly is warranted. If you google "Additional sense: Unrecovered read error" you'll find a number of postings. One indicated that the drive worked fine in Windows, but not Linux. I'd try booting with a Linux live CD and mounting the drive rw to see how it behaves in that environment. But before all else I'd backup. Jacques B.
