Disk error

[Alan Tam <alantam@usa.net>]

Hi dear debianers;

        I've installed Slink and worked fine. (hard disk A for Windows;
hard disk B for Linux, boot from loadlin or sometimes from floppy.)

        Now I want to install the kernel-package downloaded from Debian
for a kernel compile (kernel-source-2.0.36 downloaded as well). When I
get to

        dpkg -i kernel-package_6.05.deb

I got the following error.
=======================================================
debian:/linux/debian# dpkg -i kernel-package_6.05.deb
hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error
}
hdb: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=1991485,
sector=193213
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:43, sector 193213
dpkg: failed to read `/var/lib/dpkg/available' at line 45230:
Input/output error
=======================================================

        How can I fix it ?
        Do I have to reinstall the whole thing ? Or get a way to mark
the bad sectors before the installation ? Or even try to move the data
to somewhere else and continue the above installation ?

        Many thanks.

        Alan
