Problems with iomega zip 250

Lately, when I mount a zip disk on my iomega zip250, I get this in syslog:
Mar 21 01:33:15 hobbes kernel: hdb: The disk reports a capacity of 250640384
bytes, but the drive only handles 250609664
Mar 21 01:33:15 hobbes kernel: ide-floppy: hdb: I/O error, pc = 5a, key = 5,
asc = 24, ascq = 0
Mar 21 01:33:15 hobbes kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,64)
Mar 21 01:33:15 hobbes kernel: hdb: unknown partition table
What does that error mean, and would it have anything to do with data
corruption that I am getting on one of my disks?
I have tried mounting all of my zip disks after I noticed that error from my
backup disk, and I get that error on every mount.
I suppose it's _possible_ that the disk is just old and dying, but I've only
had it for about three years.
The FS errors that I get are:
Mar 20 01:37:56 hobbes kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,64)):
ext2_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 32771
Any help that could be offered would be much appreciated.
I'm running unstable, with kernel 2.4.2-ac20.
please cc me in your replies, as I am not actually on this list.
thanks,
crh
