A similar thing happened to me a while back at work. A 2.1 gig drive, the BIOS only detecting it as 540meg [no LBA support.. it was an old machine] hence Linux trying to access beyond 540meg. Perhaps one has nothing to do with the other, I don't recall the exact output of fsck other than it attempting to access beyond the end of it. Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me remember what I did to rectify it. The machine + drive coexist quite happily now, so I guess all hope is not lost. Sorry I couldn't be of more help..
