One could assume so.
Bad blocks are being
reported when there are bad blocks. No more, no less.
It might be that the
hard drive suffers from temperature problem, and starts failing only
after X hours of continues work. It might be that the disk is failed
right from the start, and the person with the NTFS (let me guess -
KSP?) had formatted the HD a quick format. Formatting it a slow format
should not leave bad blocks on the formatted data (as it cleans the bad
blocks out), but should leave a report saying such and such bad blocks
were found. It only takes time.
Ez.

So I guess the problem is the HD ?

Hi,
The drive is SATA 1 (IDE with "special" cable).
As far as I found, it does supported under 2.6.8 (the default kernel
for debian stable in the 2.6 family).
