[GLLUG] Disk issue?

[Marshal Newrock]

Yes, the drive is probably toast.  The error is saying it encountered a
bad sector and can't read the drive.  Of course, there's always a slim
chance that it's a bad data cable or connection, but you should assume
that the drive is now dead.  If you don't have current backups of
everything on that drive, good luck.
