*** You might want to reformat the partition and see if it stops. It
probably won't and you'll get it again. Since you've been running this
disk for 3 years without problems you can be sure that it's a hardware
problem. I think you're best bet would be to have a look in your purse
and see if there's enough in it for a new drive.
Cheers!
