So what's the problem? Bin or warranty the drive - you already told us, I think, there's no important data on there.

Messages like this:

   Oct  9 20:38:20 elsewhere kernel: [265637.556281] EXT3-fs error (device sda2): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=24579, block=99331

most likely indicate physical failure of the drive. If it's making noises then it *definitely* means the bearings have gone, guv.

If you need to get data off this disk then we can advise (but search the archives for GNU dd_rescue, or just read its manual) but apart from that there's nothing we can do for this drive.
