I recently had those errors on the hard drive of my laptop. It turned
out that the disk was faulty and the errors came up when trying to read
a bad sector.
DOS automatically handles bad sectors, but Ext2 does not (neither does
ReiserFS, what I was using). Linux seems to assume that all disks are
good.
If you format with, I think, 'mke2fs -i', bad sectors will me marked...
Or is it 'e2fsck -i'? One or the other.
Hope that helps.
