To find out if this error is caused by the harddisk or by other components,
I'd suggest moving the disk to a different computer.

If the errors remain, your disk is failing.
Otherwise, swap components one by one.
A good next candidate would be the power supply unit.
Also, check the mainboard capacitors for a bulged top or leakage.

Mirko
