XXXX and YYYY are different each time, the rest is the same. I'm
not familiar with e2fsck and similar tools, but are these errors
caused by a bad hd or a bad fs? ie do I have a paper weight or
can it be rectified?
I'm leaning towards paper weight, but hope for a second opinion.
Sounds like a bad hard drive, all right. There are a few things you might
try before tossing it, however. First, reseat the drive cable (you never
know...). After that, you might try a low-level format of the disk.
If that doesn't help, I'd throw it out (or take it appart and hang the
platters on my wall). When a new hard drive is so cheap, why mess around?
