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:

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.
