Don't know how to fix it, but I had the same thing happen to me on this
laptop last week, a 3.1G drive in a TP 760ED. The data seems ok, but the
drive is hosed, neither Linux or Win95 will boot. I can boot from the
rescue set and mount the drive and data transfers will work to a floppy,
but often quite slowly. It acts as though the drive is retrying alot.
I don't recall having installed any new packages just prior to the
failure and I was running frozen that had been updated last on May 17.
I doubt it's software related and I presume it is actually a hardware
failure, however, I'm a bit wary of updating to frozen on this drive
after this.
