CRC checks on a HD are bad news. Get your data backed up ASAP and replace the drive.
Even a file recovery program can't read data on these errors (most of the time)
as the hardware (HD) is failing.. Rare cases a cable or the motherboard can be at
fault but that would be random, not at the same spot on the drive, that, is the drive
failing... Good Luck!
