 Hi,
 
 I have some disk problems: when I try to access certain files, I hear 
 strange sounds from the hard disk, the computer has a delay, and I get

 ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=59969, block=131084
 
 Anyone knows what is it, and how can it be fixed?
 
   
 
 This is a very strong indication of a bad sector (especially if the 
 problem persists). If you value your data, you better replace the drive. 
 Probably even if you don't.
 
 Thanks,
