Your hard drive may actually not be going bad. If you have a 40-pin
cable going to your hard drive, replace it with an 80-pin cable.
I've seen similar errors and the first time I replaced the hard drive
(it was under warranty) and the 2nd time I put the drive into my Windows
system where it's been running flawlessly. I'm convinced it was either
the cable or there was an incompatibility between the controller on my
Linux system and the drive.
