Quickest suggestion I can make is to do one of two things (both are
destructive to the data):
1) Low Level format with your BIOS or Drive Controller (this is not
always recommended)
2) (Safer) Reformat your partition with mke2fs (ext2 is the format you
have i assume) and tell it to (with command line arguments) check for
sectors (verify format).
Backup your data before doing this though!
