Sure sounds like a hardware error to me. I'd suspect bad blocks on
the hard drive, but it could be  any number of things from a loose
cable to bad RAM to bad firmware to who-knows-what.

Don't  trust the  hard drive  'til you  know exactly  what's going
on--that  means,  ``make  backups,  don't trust  it  for  anything
critical,  and don't  be surprised  if you're  already hosed.'' If
you've got another hard drive available (of if you've got the cash
to buy a new one), it's probably worthwhile just doing a swap.

See

for some more ideas.

Good luck,
