SubjectRe: Why are bad disk sectors numbered strangely, and what happens to them?
Date
try the smartmontools package, it has "smartctl" that will
show you the discs S.M.A.R.T. details (i.e. how many bad
blocks the firmware knows, the errors the firmware knows
about, etc.). It can also run a self test etc.

doing a backup couldn't hurt.
btw: are you sure cables are ok?

Good Luck!

Andreas
