If you are getting i/o erros on the hard disk like hda: i/o error sector nnnnn uncorrectable error drive ready seek complete you have a hard disk that has failed. It has probably exceeded the bad sector count that can be a utomatically be remapped by the drive. You might get things off the drive but it's a case of backing up what you n_need_ to keep and backing up more often. I have had plenty of drives fail in my time, if you have no backups you just get drunk and deal with the loss next day :-) Regards, Kerry.
