Messages like >> [sda] tag#6 Sense Key : Medium Error [current] >> [sda] tag#6 Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed usually point towards towards problems with the magnetic layer on the disk. These do not get better over time, they only get worse. Then we have "auto reallocate failed", which means that the HD controller tried to reassign the damaged sector to another working sector, unsuccessfully. > what do you think? If there is anything of value on the disk, get a new one right now. Good luck, s.
